WARSOP MP John Mann and Bolsover MP Dennis Skinner are among more than 100 MPs nationwide who have said they employ family members.
In total, 106 MPs have voluntarily registered family members as working for them after MP Derek Conway was suspended from Parliament for 10 day in January for employing his son despite him being a full time student.

MPs have now been urged to list which family members they employ, which will become compulsory in August.

And it has been revealed that Mr Mann employs his wife Joanna White as office manager, while Mr Skinner employs his partner Lois Blasenheim as senior research/parliamentary assistant.

The role of office manager attracts a salary of £21,320 to £40,052 and the job of senior research/Parliamentary assistant is paid £27,780 to £40,052.

Oh those fine pillars of society ! Not having to hand in a receipt for less than £250? Employing Family members I have no problem with, as long as its declared and not a ruddy great big lie and that person has the skills and gets paid the going rate for doing it. MP's like Derek Con-way ( Very appropriate name!) should be named and shamed and should feel ashamed of their actions ( If any of them have feelings that is!. Its US the Tax Payer thats pays for their greed, and as we elect them, they should be answerable to us !
