“I Want Him To Be Prosecuted!” Jenrick Calls For Minister To Be ‘Sacked’ Over Solicitor CV ‘Lie’

“I Want Him To Be Prosecuted!” Jenrick Calls For Minister To Be ‘Sacked’ Over Solicitor CV ‘Lie’

A Cabinet minister accused of misrepresenting his legal career has corrected the record in Parliament for describing himself as a solicitor in a 2014 speech.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said he should have made clear that he was a trainee solicitor when speaking during a debate on high speed rail.

The term “solicitor” is legally protected and it is an offence for someone to call themselves a solicitor if they are not qualified and registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick says Mr Reynolds should be “prosecuted”.

He tells Mike Graham: “He’s broken the law. He’s bang to rights!”
