Steve Webb MP makes a speech at the Liberal Democrat Autumn conference 2008.

Steve Webb was the Liberal Democrats MP for Thornbury and Yate from 2010 till 2015, having failed to be re-elected in the 2015 general election. [1] Webb previously served as the MP for Northavon from 1997 until 2010. [1]

Webb was also the minister of state at the Department for Work and Pensions from 2010 till 2015.[2]

Revolving Door

Having left office after the general election of 2015, Webb sought to take on a paid, full-time role as Director of Policy and Communications for Royal London Group, a pension company. The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments were initially concerned with his close working relationship with Royal London during his time at the Department of Work and Pensions, and thus advised a waiting period of six months following his last day in office.[3]
