Sir Ben Wallace has taken a role as senior adviser to Saudi Arabia on reform and governance, despite the country’s controversial human rights record.
The Acoba watchdog approved Wallace's new position with strict conditions, ensuring that he will not lobby or advise on UK defence matters for two years.
Wallace, who left his position after the UK's response to the Ukraine war, affirmed that his new role won't involve UK defence or lobbying activities.
His hiring is part of a pattern of former cabinet ministers working with Saudi Arabia, raising concerns about the implications for human rights.
