A former Tory MP should be stripped of his right to access the parliamentary estate after showing “blatant disregard” in failing to register his employment by a defence company for two years, the Commons Standards Committee said.
Bob Stewart, who stood down as MP for Beckenham at the election, failed to register his employment as a consultant with Ksantex, a firm registered in Luxembourg but owned by Azerbaijan-born French citizen Khagani Bashirov, according to the committee.
