Former Minister Owen Paterson could be suspended from the Commons for 30 days after an MP watchdog discovered he had “repeatedly” used his position as a deputy for the benefit of two companies that paid him as a consultant.
The watchdog described his actions as “a striking case of paid legal aid”.
In response, the Conservative MP said: “The trial I have been subjected to is not in accordance with natural justice.”
“I am not guilty and a fair trial would drive me out,” he added.
