MP calls for Blencathra parliamentary inquiry

(CNS Business): The Cayman Islands representative in London, Lord Blencathra, may face an investigation into whether he has breached parliamentary regulations by accepting a paid position to lobby for Cayman’s financial services industry while also sitting in the House of Lords.
