UK-Listed Mining Companies

Proceeding contribution from Guy Opperman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 November 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on UK-Listed Mining Companies.

The hon. Gentleman mentioned the individual who was monitoring and then went to work as the chairman. I used the example of someone who

worked for the local authority and turned from gamekeeper into poacher straightaway thereafter. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, just as we require Members of the House not to do business connected to matters they have dealt with as a Minister, we should encourage companies set up in this country to ensure, through the shareholders’ action, that such persons, with whom the companies have dealt, are not then immediately hired on to their boards?
