Embattled Tory MP Bob Stewart hid his directorship of a foreign defence company controlled by a controversial Azerbaijani businessman while sitting on Parliament’s influential defence committee.
An investigation by openDemocracy and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) has found that Stewart failed to declare his role at the Luxembourg-registered firm.
A former member of Westminster’s standards committee said the failure “looks like a clear and serious breach” of the rules.
