A Tory peer has been rapped for lobbying ministers on behalf of a healthcare firm he hadn't declared he represented.
The Earl of Shrewsbury - whose full name is Charles Henry John Benedict Crofton Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot - contacted two ministers while being paid a reported £3,000 a month by Cheshire-based firm SpectrumX.
The 69-year-old Earl is a director of Talbot Consulting Limited - which was representing SpectrumX - along with his wife the Countess of Shrewsbury.
