Labour rules on lobbying would ‘clean up politics’, says Angela Rayner

Labour would ban ministers from taking lobbying jobs related to their former brief for up to five years, in order to “fix the broken standards system and clean up politics”. If the rules were breached, the former ministers would face fines decided by a commission in line with proposals outlined by the committee on standards in public life, which also include the possibility of losing a proportion of their pension or the severance payment that is paid once they leave office. The Guardian understands any former minister would need to approach the party’s newly proposed integrity and ethics commission before taking a paid role. The commission would then decide if the role was considered lobbying, advocacy or portfolio related.
