Melanie Jane Johnson (born 05 February 1955, Ipswich) is a former Labour MP, who was public health minister from 2003 to 2005.[1] She left Parliament on 11 April 2005.[2]

Career

After Parliament

Almost a year after leaving Parliament, Johnson in March 2006 joined the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI). The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments ruled that she could 'Take up [the appointment] forthwith but, for 12 months after leaving office, she should not be personally involved in lobbying Government Ministers or officials' [3] Given that she had left her role in April 2005 Johnson was free to lobby ministers within months of joining the ABPI.
