Boris Johnson breached government rules by being 'evasive' about a meeting with the Venezuelan president, failing to clarify his relationship with a hedge fund, as reported by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments.
Former PM Johnson failed to clarify his relationship with a hedge fund that set up the meeting with President Maduro, in violation of the rules that ex-ministers must not take new jobs without guidance from Acoba.
Acoba reported the breach to Deputy PM Dowden but lacks the power to enforce its recommendations or penalize former government officials. Johnson's spokesman declined to comment on the matter.
Johnson's repeated failure to address his ties with the hedge fund and previous breaches, such as not seeking clearance for writing columns, indicate a pattern of non-compliance with government guidelines.
