As we reported previously, Sky News comprehends that a secret brand-new political writer teased by The Daily Mail is Boris Johnson.
It has actually now been validated that Lord Pickles, the chairman of the advisory committee on business consultations (Acoba), will be composing to Mr Johnson to look for explanation on the matter.
Although Mr Johnson is no longer an MP, having actually resigned a week earlier, previous ministers who have actually left federal government in the previous 2 years are needed to use to Acoba prior to handling a brand-new job.
The independent body encourages ministers on whether jobs they handle after leaving federal government abide by “business appointment guidelines”.
In a nutshell, ministers are not allowed to lobby federal government for 2 years after they leave workplace.
An Acoba spokesperson said: “We have not had an application and we will be composing to Mr Johnson.”
Mr Johnson has actually not yet validated he is signing up with the Mail on Sunday, however Sky News comprehends it to be the case.
It deserves keeping in mind that there are no sanctions for not using to Acoba, as it stands.
