On his former constituency website, Mr Reynolds reportedly stated that, prior to becoming an MP, he was a solicitor at the Addleshaw Goddard law firm's Manchester office.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has been accused of creating a false CV after it was reportedly discovered that he frequently identified himself as a solicitor even though he has never qualified.
They added that Mr Reynolds tries to make clear he was only ever a trainee.
Pretending to engage in “reserved legal activity” or using a title that suggests a right to do so is illegal under Section 17 of the Legal Services Act of 2007 and carries a maximum sentence of six months in prison and a fine of £5,000.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the business secretary told Guido Fawkes his reference to working as a solicitor in 2014 was a mistake.
