Which UK MPs own shares in publicly listed companies?

The Guardian is publishing a list of 41 MPs who own, or have an interest in, shares in 17 publicly listed companies.

The vast majority of these shareholdings have not been publicly disclosed until now.

Parliamentary transparency rules require the disclosure of a shareholding in any single company worth more than £70,000. The majority of the shares identified are below this threshold.

Nonetheless the Guardian is publishing the full list of MPs and their shareholdings so the public has a greater view of the financial interests of their elected representatives.

In some cases, the MP’s interest is an indirect one as the shares are held by members of their close family. Where this is the case it is noted below. This published list does not include shareholdings that MPs have disposed of.

All share valuations have been taken from the close of the markets on 30 June. Shareholding data is from registers received between February and May.

Reporting team: Henry Dyer, Sam Cutler, Mario Savarese and Dominic Kendrick
