The government’s new ethics adviser, Lord Geidt, is facing a vote of no confidence in his role as chairman of the governing council at King’s College London.
Academics at the university have put forward a vote demanding Geidt’s “immediate resignation”, after openDemocracy revealed that he had a paid position working at the arms company BAE Systems.
The company was accused in Parliament of acting “unethically” to sell weapons to “any murderous, brutal dictatorship, and use corruption to secure those sales”.
