A former British government minister could face an investigation after opposition parties criticised him for allegedly using his parliamentary office for his second job as a lawyer.

According to a report by The Times of London, Sir Geoffrey Cox, a Conservative MP and former attorney-general, used his office in the House of Commons in September to participate remotely in a meeting to advise the British Virgin Islands (BVI) over a corruption probe launched by the Foreign Office.
