Wakeham to quit at Enron
12 April 2012
TORY peer Lord Wakeham is to quit the board of US energy giant Enron after becoming embroiled in the scandal surrounding its collapse. He will leave his £80,000-a-year job next month.
The move turned the spotlight back on to Conservative sleaze allegations, at a time when Labour faces embarrassment over its links to Lakshmi Mittal and the Hindujas. Lord Wakeham, a former energy minister in John Major's Government, became a non-executive director of Enron in 1994.
