A Tory MP has landed an £800-an-hour job at the same firm he had lavished praise on while working a transport minister, according to a Labour MP.
Stephen Hammond took the role with Inmarsat, which makes communications systems for aviation and shipping, just months after he was sacked as Secretary of State for Transport.
Former City banker Hammond had said he was 'hugely impressed' by the company during his two years as a minister- where he attended official events alongside Inmarsat bosses.
The Commons register of members' interests states that Mr Hammond has been paid £20,000 for just 25 hours' work advising Inmarsat plc with his contract due to run out at the end of March.
Mr Hammond will be paid as much as £800-an-hour at the firm he had lavished praise on while working a transport minister, according to a Labour MP
The MP for Wimbledon in south west London, had said he was impressed by Inmarsat on a visit to the company's headquarters in 2013.
He later gave a speech at an Inmarsat dinner where he said he was 'committed' to a government partnership with the firm.
:22: As long as you pay me a huge amount of money for backing your company......
Mr Hammond has come under criticism before and even faced a Parliamentary inquiry in 2012 after failing to declare his shareholding in a firm that receives tax breaks and the very next year it emerged he had used an offshore firm to buy his luxury second home in Portugal worth half a million pounds.
He was also revealed to be one of the most frequent users of the government's chauffeur-driven cars- using them 138 times a year despite living just six miles away from Westminster.
And in 2013 it came to light that Mr Hammond had demanded a £40,000 pay rise for MPs.
"Former City banker" Speaks volumes, he does come across as a complete and utter banker.
Prompts Fear to find a "******" emoticon.
