Controversies

Whilst still under his ACOBA lobbying ban, Ladyman wrote to Peter Hendy, the commissioner at Transport for London, to make initial contact with a view to arranging a meeting once his lobbying ban had expired. Ladyman began his letter with, "You may remember me from my time as Minister of State for Transport", and received the response, "I do indeed and am delighted to hear from you," "We would be interested to hear your proposals."[3][4]
