Mark Hoban MP is the Financial Secretary to the UK Treasury, appointed in May 2010.[1] He is a chartered accountant who spent a substantial part of his career at one of the 'big four' accountancy firms PricewaterhouseCoopers.


Activities

One month into the new UK Coalition government's 2010 term, Goldman Sachs International's co-CEOs Michael Sherwood and Richard Gnodde secured a meeting with Hoban according to SpinWatch.

What was discussed at this meeting, however, will never be publicly known as no agenda or formal minutes were taken, despite David Cameron's pledge that his Ministers must be “transparent about what we do and how we do it”.[2]
