Tesco and BAA chiefs to face MPs

David Singleton 09-May-08

Public affairs chiefs at two of the UK's most controversial companies, Tesco and BAA, are to face a grilling in the House of Commons.

MPs on the Commons public administration select committee want to question Tesco group corporate affairs director Lucy Neville-Rolfe and BAA corporate and public affairs director Tom Kelly.

The two are due to appear before the committee on Thursday 15 May as part of its ongoing inquiry in to lobbying, along with AstraZeneca chairman Chris Brinsmead.

Later on the same day, the MPs will also quiz Greenpeace director John Sauven, Amnesty International UK campaigns director Tim Hancock and New Economics Foundation policy director Andrew Simms.

The MPs are investigating 'the transparency of the lobbying industry, the effectiveness of recent attempts at self-regulation, and whether the rules for those in Parliament and government should be changed'.
