UK politics: MPs support government plans to reform second job rules

MPs have given their backing to the Government’s proposals for second jobs reform.

The Government’s amendment on standards was approved by 297 votes to zero, a majority 297.

The Deputy Speaker told the House: “The ayes to the right 297, the no’s to the left zero. The ayes have it, the ayes have it... just.”

Earlier, the Government committed to releasing all details it has of meeting involving ministers, officials and Randox following a vote in the Commons amid sleaze claims.

It comes after the Prime Minister faced a grilling at the Liaison Committee over whether he thought Owen Paterson was guilty.
