Steve Brine must step down from Health Select Committee
EMBARGO: Immediate release
Responding to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner launching an investigation into Steve Brine over allegations of inproper lobbying of the NHS, Liberal Democrat Health spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:
“Steve Brine should immediately step down from the Health Select Committee whilst this investigation takes places. It is absurd for an MP who may have wrongly lobbied the NHS to now be in charge of holding them to account.
"The evidence against him looks damning and is clear for all to see. The messages sent by Steve Brine appear to show an MP during the pandemic proiritising his corporate employers above all else.
"To the public, this whole thing stinks of another Conservative sleaze scandal."
