LONDON (Reuters) -- Britain’s parliament was embroiled in a growing sleaze scandal on Wednesday as allegations of lawmakers being paid for external work which may have breached parliamentary rules dominated the headlines.
The question of lawmakers having second jobs has come under renewed scrutiny over the past week, after Boris Johnson’s government sought to change parliamentary conflict-of-interest rules to protect a colleague threatened with suspension.
