Tory chairman Jake Berry grilled as MP was made director of company without knowing

Tory chairman Jake Berry faces a grilling after an MP was made a director of a company funded with taxpayer cash without knowing.

Companies House records show Government whip Damien Moore joined Mr Berry’s Northern Research Group Ltd in June 2021 and resigned two months later.

But Tory MPs say that despite the short period he was in post he still should have declared his directorship in the Commons Register of Members’ Interests.
