Andrea Leadsom does not have claimed experience as an investment banker despite suggestions that she managed billions of pounds, it has been alleged.
An investigation by The Times newspaper says that during her time at Invesco Perpetual, Ms Leadsom was only approved by the financial services regulator for three months.
This approval is required for any roles dealing with funds or clients.
Andrea Leadsom named 'worst Treasury minister ever'
One of her supporters, Tory MP Bernard Jenkin, has said she was responsible at one point for “for managing hundreds of people and billions of pounds”.
In the House of Commons she has also spoken of “managing the investment banks team at Barclays”.
But a former colleague, Robert Stephens, told the website Reaction that “she did not manage any teams, large or small, and she certainly did not manage any funds”.

Mmm.
However, she did manage people.
