Henry Conway (born 1983) is an English socialite, party promoter, author and fashion journalist, occasionally self-styled as "Queen Sloane". He came to the attention of the press in January 2008 as a result of a scandal involving his father, MP Derek Conway. 〔Woodward, Will. ("MP faces suspension over payments to son" ). ''The Guardian'' (29 January 2008))〕 ==Derek Conway investigation== Derek Conway was suspended from the House of Commons after the Committee on Standards and Privileges reported that the MP had misused taxpayers' money by paying his younger son Frederick (Freddie) as a research assistant even though there was no record of his work.〔Summers, Deborah. ("Conway suspended from Commons over expenses row" ). ''The Guardian'' (31 January 2008).〕 Derek Conway maintained that both sons did work as research assistants and that the lack of records in respect of Freddie was merely a result of administrative shortcomings.〔("Tory whip withdrawn from Conway" ). BBC News (29 January 2008). Retrieved on 29 July 2008.〕 As a result of the controversy, Henry also came under intense media scrutiny, with Liz Smith of ''The Daily Mail'' saying the press had "opened up and prodded () like an albino mouse in a dissection class."〔Smith, Liz. ("OK, MP Derek Conway's son didn't stuff enough envelopes ... but do the Post Office?" ). ''The Daily Mail'' (10 February 2008)〕 After receiving a complaint, John Lyon, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, announced in February 2008 that he would investigate whether or not Henry's employment was also in breach of normal protocol.〔("MPs pledge broad expenses probe" ). BBC News (4 February 2008). Retrieved on 28 July 2008.〕 The investigation was completed the following year, when it was concluded that Henry was overpaid for the work he did as a research assistant. Henry was accused of taking advantage of his "15 minutes of fame",〔 and continued to be associated with the scandal for years afterwards.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Conway (socialite)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
