Tim Yeo MP
Posted: 30 Nov 2013, 13:45
Has jus been dropped by his local party.
Good! This person has been "Chair of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee" whilst at the same time he has been taking money like this:- £67,290 in remunerations from corporate donors for work done for AFC Energy PLC, a developer of alkaline fuel cells focused on industrial application. From other corporate donors, he has received £372,419 in other remunerations, from companies including TMO Renewables Limited, Groupe Eurotunnel SA, and Eco City Vehicles.
He was also filmed in a "sting" operation. The Sunday Times alleged, citing video evidence of a conversation with the MP, that he had helped "coach" a solar energy company executive for an appearance before his parliamentary committee; the parent company pays Yeo.
To me you couldn't get clearer evidence of a conflict of interests; the Parliamentary grand poohbah for standards cleared Yeo; it's good to see that local tories seem to have higher standards than those that apply in parliament.
Yeo was also one of the most vocal of John Major's "family values" and back to basics men, until it was revealed that besides the children of his marriage, he'd fathered two children outside wedlock.
