It's been a busy month
Blackpool South MP Scott Benton, who was filmed allegedly offering to lobby in exchange for money, is facing a second investigation by Parliament’s standards watchdog.
The politician had the Tory whip suspended earlier this month after an undercover expose by The Times. . The Commons standards watchdog’s website says Mr Benton is under investigation for “actions causing significant damage to the reputation of the House as a whole, or of its Members generally”. Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg opened a first probe two weeks ago into Mr Benton’s use of his parliamentary email address.
In The Times’ footage, Mr Benton also said he was willing to leak sensitive information to a bogus investment fund and ask parliamentary questions on its behalf.Meanwhile, Mr Greenberg also extended an investigation into allegations Prime Minister Rishi Sunak possibly failed to declare the shares his wife holds in a childcare agency that was boosted by the Budget.
