After reading about Matt Hancock allegedly not declaring all his financial interest in the Topwood Ltd.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56768601
"In March, he declared he had acquired more than 15% of Topwood Ltd, which was granted the approved status in 2019."
"The MPs' register did not mention that his sister Emily Gilruth - involved in the firm since its foundation in 2002 - owns a larger portion of the shares and is a director, or that Topwood has links to the NHS"
The press act like all this was a mystery, but there must be public records of all this stuff.
I have spent many a happy hour watching Anti-Bribery training videos for various Clients I have engaged with over the years. Would be scared to accept a free coffee these days.
Is there nothing for MPs Not implying bribery here but conflict of interest I would say so.
Why not just publish a list of who owns what and where. Ban all corporate work whilst a sitting MP. Fill your boots after you leave.
Love to know what could be implied about the Chancellor, and you know, Father-in-Laws companies
I love the fact that Tory ministers are frowned upon for their ties with business, yet Labour is pretty much run by the Trade Unions which is essentially the same conflict or even worse due to the number of times they have blocked candidates or dictated policy.

Not really possible to do that. Need some efficient journalist/researcher to do it for us. And present it in a nice clicky web page.

Well there's the register of members' interests, that relies on them reporting such things:
https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-...ial-interests/
You can search CoHo for directors and see which MP has directorships of which company.
You can search Ancestry.co.uk for the family tree of all MPs and then search CoHo for what their siblings are associated with.
Of course, you can't search overseas (Jersey, Panama, etc) equivalents of CoHo
