“The World Forum for Ethics in Business is a great initiative and it is heartening to see principles of ethical living being brought into the way businesses are conducted. Prior to becoming a Member of Parliament, I was responsible for the regulatory compliance management at BT. Having worked closely on the regulatory framework and compliance in businesses, I feel it is important to assess how businesses operate. I support the promotion of free trade, providing an enabling environment for businesses and combating corruption across board. I am a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Corporate Governance that endeavours to influence the policy agenda for business, economic and social prosperity.”
