Through you, Madam Chair, we concluded recently that there are about 189 members of Parliament who have additional roles. Some of those roles include working in accident and emergency departments in hospitals, working as nurses or working as social care workers throughout the pandemic. Many other MPs have additional incomes, small amounts, that come from completion of surveys for public opinion polls, and so on.
Certainly it's something that we are looking at across the piece in the House of Commons to ensure that we address the conflict of interest point.
For me, if you earn more money and spend more time on an additional role, then being a member of Parliament becomes your secondary role rather than giving a primary consideration to the people who elected you to be a member of Parliament.
