MPs should still be allowed to work about 10 to 15 hours a week in second jobs as long as they are not offering political consultancy, the cabinet minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan has said.
She told BBC Breakfast: 'I think there is a common-sense test, which is if you probably do 40-50 hours a week doing your main job, doing 10 or 15 hours a week doing something else, whatever you choose to do in your spare time … is something that is part of the richness of what you bring as an individual to your role as an MP'
