Ann Taylor was a Labour MP from 1974 to 2005, when she entered the House of Lords as Baroness Taylor of Bolton.[1]
Taylor was Minister for Defence Equipment for a year until 2008 and became Minister for International Defence and Security until the May 2010 election.[2]
In December 2010 she joined the arms contractor Thales, which was part of the consortium supplying two aircraft carriers that were £1.541bn over budget.[3] The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments saw no reason why she should not accept the appointment on the condition that for 2 years after leaving office, she should not become personally involved in lobbying UK Ministers or Crown servants, including Special Advisers, on behalf of her new employer.
