We call for Stephen Dorrell MP to be removed from office, immediately.
Remove Stephen Dorrell MP for Charnwood from Office immediately.
The MP for Charnwood, announced last week that he had accepted a job as a health policy consultant with accountancy firm KPMG, which he said would be “incompatible” with his role as an MP.
However, he is starting his new three-days-a-week job on Monday, meaning that he will be in both positions for six months.
KPMG are considering bidding for a £1 billion deal to manage the patient’s medical records. This is a complete conflict of interest and as more concerns by constituents are being raised regarding the privatisation of the NHS by tories. Actions of MPs such as this, should not be taken lightly.

Why is this important?
Stephen Dorrell, the veteran Conservative MP, has been accused of a conflict of interest after taking a job as an adviser with a private firm targeting a £1billion NHS contract.
The MP for Charnwood, a cabinet minister in John Major’s government, announced last week that he would be stepping down at the General Election as he had accepted a job as a health policy consultant with accountancy firm KPMG, which he said would be “incompatible” with his role as an MP.
However, it is claimed that he is starting his new three-days-a-week job on Monday, meaning that he will be in both positions for six months.

Mr Dorrell, who quit his post as chairman of the House of Commons Health Select Committee in June, faced calls to resign from one of the posts.
