Parliamentary Standards Bill

I really am appalled that a former Member of the other place could use this disreputable phrase "moonlighting". Is he really suggesting that all the former lawyers in the other place, some of whom became distinguished law officers of the Crown, were moonlighting? Is he suggesting that all the other hugely distinguished Members who have contributed and had other jobs were moonlighting? That is an extraordinary assertion to come from a former Member of the other place. I hope that he withdraws it. It gives a totally false impression. I would add that, if you were to take that back into history, people like Winston Churchill were undoubtedly moonlighting. It is nonsense, and we really must get away from such nonsense.
