directorship

The parliamentary standards commissioner did not uphold the complaint but said his unpaid directorship should now be registered in his parliamentary interests.

What's more, the claimants appear to be connected to each other through a network of company directorships, and all had names of Hungarian origin.

The former minister has held directorship positions in leading international businesses like Aviva, Prudential and Credit Suisse, though he resigned from the latter following a spying scandal.

He holds shareholdings in a range of companies, and directorships in a range of media and fashion firms, prompting questions from the Conservatives over his closeness to the Labour leadership.

Among other penalties, it seeks a ban against Mr Shafi from holding directorship of companies.
