Mark Fullbrook saga: We need an urgent investigation into conflicts of interest

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting on the report by the Sunday Times which said Liz Truss's Chief of Staff Mark Fullbrook has been 'seconded' to Number 10 from a lobbying firm, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said: 

"Liz Truss's administration is proving to be nothing more than the same as Boris Johnson's, miring itself in sleaze, not even a month into the job. 

"Her top advisors must not appear to be above the rules and laws of the land. We need to see an urgent independent investigation into any conflicts of interest, anything less than this risks looking like an admittance of wrongdoing. 

"This Conservative Government should know better than to undermine the long-standing rules we have in place."
