Lord Duncan seen here before taking on work with Charlotte Street Partners IN a move which has been described as “simply wrong”, a lobbying firm has hired a sitting Tory peer as a consulting partner. The appointment of Ian Duncan (Lord Duncan of Springbank) by Charlotte Street Partners, announced last week, has come under heavy fire from industry bodies. Duncan, a former Scotland Office minister and Tory MEP for Scotland, now serves as Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords. The Association for Scottish Public Affairs (ASPA), a membership body for public affairs practitioners, has said the lobbying firm will be removed from their association in the wake of Duncan’s appointment.
