Has He Abused his Position?

We all know that as a politician, Ken Clarke has been useless over the last few years, preferring to concentrate on his other career. It is now being alleged that he has gone further than that.
SpinWatch Asks the Sergeant At Arms Office At Palace of Westminster to Investigate Ken Clarke and Whether he Has Abused the Privileges of the House of Commons
They claim that:
Mr. Clarke has been using parliamentary phones and faxes to undertake business on behalf of BAT. Furthermore, Clarke’s parliamentary secretary, Debbie Sugg, has also been acting as his secretary on BAT business. She was even on BAT’s internal mail system.
We await the result of this inquiry with interest.

May it is true maybe it isn't. There are many other possible reasons why it has not been picked up. Lets be honest, using a house of commons fax machine for personal use is hardly going to get the editor of the news of the world excited.

Could you imagine: Ken as leader proclaiming on any health issues?

The quickest way to shut down any debate on the NHS would be for Labour to say "BAT"...
