Conservative deputy chairman Lee Anderson is being investigated after he used a parliamentary rooftop to film a promotion video for his £100,000-a-year GB News show. The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Daniel Greenberg, announced on Monday that he launched a probe into whether the controversial Ashfield MP broke the MPs’ code of conduct.
The potential breach is being investigated under paragraph 8, which states: “Excepting modest and reasonable personal use, Members must ensure that the use of facilities and services provided to them by Parliament, including an office, is in support of their parliamentary activities, and is in accordance with all relevant rules.”
Using Parliament Square and Whitehall as the backdrop, Mr Anderson asked viewers to get in touch with their problems for a chance to appear on his weekly show.
