In the past month there have been disquieting reports of allegations relating to MPs belonging to an All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) seeking directions to brothels overseas.
The “scandal” of MPs’ earnings from second jobs and donations exposed by Sky News’ Westminster Accounts project “needs to end” through “root-and-branch” reform, the SNP has said.
The Westminster Accounts interactive database lets you search for information about the earnings and donations declared by any MP, political party, an all-party parliamentary group, or donor since the last election.
For decades, if you wanted to find out how much an MP was earning on top of their £84,000 basic salary, you’d need to study dozens of entries in several editions of the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.
