Video: Tim Yeo MP lobby row: Let justice take its course, says Eric Pickles Tim Yeo, the chairman of the Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee, was filmed by undercover reporters working for The Sunday Times boasting that he could be paid to introduce businessmen to members of the Government. Mr Yeo also said he had coached an executive from GB Railfreight before the executive gave evidence to the committee last month. The MP is a paid director and shareholder of Eurotunnel - GB Railfreight's parent company. The House of Commons' code of conduct forbids MPs from acting as paid advocates, including by lobbying ministers, and Mr Yeo has referred himself to the Parliament's Standards Committee.
