The article is unreferenced apart from the recent expenses scandal. The body of the article needs refs, a couple are suggested. Widefox (talk) 00:16, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In 1988 a Daily Mirror article revealed that as well as being MP for East Berkshire he was MP 'for merchant bankers Morgan Grenfell as well.' An internal memorandum to his colleagues from director David Douglas Home declared: "As you are all aware, Andrew MacKay, MP, advises us on our political strategy...I do not believe we are using his considerable talents sufficiently as far as our clients are concerned, many of whom are extremely naïve as to how to work with and use their MPs to advantage. He comes into the bank once a month at times of which you will be advised." A Commons debate was demanded to look into the links. MP Bob Cryer said: "Morgan Grenfell are actually inviting clients to have him representing them. This is clearly a very serious undermining of the job of an MP." [1]
Is this attack story cited anywhere else? It is also 20 years old, what were the repercussions of the controversy? Off2riorob (talk) 15:36, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
