In April 2010 former Labour minister and PR man Mark Malloch Brown was appointed as a consultant to Monitor. The role was noted by the prime minister's advisory committee on business appointments (ACOBA) who saw :no reason why he should not take up the appointment forthwith, provided that, for 12 months from his last day in office, he does not become personally involved in lobbying UK Ministers or Crown servants, including Special Advisers, on behalf of the company or its clients".
