<p>The independent Committee on Standards in Public Life have previously recommended
that MPs should remain free to have paid employment unrelated to their role as MPs,
and that this is desirable in performing their role (1st Report Committee on standrdas
in Public Life).<br><br>It is important that there is transparency about what MPs
do, who pays them and for what. The House changed its rules before the last election
to ensure that this detail is shown in the Register of Members' Financial Interests.
MPs are here to work for their constituents and that should remain the principal purpose
of all MPs elected to this place.</p>
