Seriously though there will be another list somewhere with all of the labour mp’s and other flavours on it "thats the full list, all parties included the exclusions are people doing legal work "What about other jobs? Most of the MPs who have second jobs are not consultants. Some of the highest earners in the House of Commons are lawyers. Geoffrey Cox, who was attorney general during the height of the Brexit negotiations, has registered a total of £970,000 income in the last year, for 705 hours of legal services. A number of MPs are also employed as doctors and nurses. Some have continued to work on the NHS front line during the pandemic." | |||

"Then distinctions need to be drawn on second incomes. Thats a matter for the Hoc to debate, and bring in any appropiate laws. A second income is just that, whether it comes from being a consultant, a doctor, an army reservist, a charity advisor etc" Should the PM be present during the HOC debate? It's more than just a second income if you effect policy or government purchasing in favour of the secondary employer. | |||

"Not a full list - the simple crofter (former Deutsche Bank financier) Ian Blackford also has external income. Personally - unless you have to maintain a professional registration via practice hours, then MPs and others should have no paid outside consultatancy." i believe it's from the register of interests | |||

There's a potential conflict of interest by being a representative of the people and a 'consultant' to a company. | |||

"What about other jobs?
Most of the MPs who have second jobs are not consultants.
Some of the highest earners in the House of Commons are lawyers.
Geoffrey Cox, who was attorney general during the height of the Brexit negotiations, has registered a total of £970,000 income in the last year, for 705 hours of legal services.
A number of MPs are also employed as doctors and nurses. Some have continued to work on the NHS front line during the pandemic.""Geoffrey Cox MP spent April, while Brits were still under lockdown rules, in the Caribbean, voting in parliament over Zoom, earning £100,000s representing a tax haven island “against the British state” over corruption claims! Daily Mail no less... "A Whitehall insider said: ‘While he should have been in the UK working for his constituents he’s been over in the British Virgin Islands doing his second job working as a barrister and advising those accused of trousering cash for their mates.’" | |||
