Companies House records show Government whip Damien Moore joined Mr Berry’s Northern Research Group Ltd in June 2021 and resigned two months later.

But Tory MPs say that despite the short period he was in post he still should have declared his directorship in the Commons Register of Members’ Interests.

But a spokesman for Mr Moore said: “Damien was never a director of NRG. The registrar is clear there is nothing to declare.”
