Begged to move that with effect from 25 October 2024, paragraph 2 of Chapter 4 of the Guide to the Rules relating to the conduct of Members be amended.

Mr Charters supports the tightening of rules on second jobs, agreeing that being an MP should be a full-time job. He believes public policy advocacy roles should cease to ensure MPs have sufficient time for their constituents.

Ms Chowns welcomes the statement and emphasises that being an MP is an honour and a privilege, suggesting that the problem of second jobs goes beyond the issues addressed in the motion. She highlights instances where MPs might have conflicts of interest, such as managing directors of financial services companies based in tax havens.

Mr Wilkinson, a new Member, expresses concern about the conduct of Members in the Chamber. He suggests that respectful listening is crucial for improving Parliament's reputation and addressing problems related to second jobs and conduct outside Parliament.

Ms Abrahams asks about the relationship between the Modernisation Committee and the ethics and integrity commission being set up by the Government, seeking clarity on how they will work together.

Ms Blackman questions whether it is fair that only three parties are represented on the Modernisation Committee and suggests there could be flexibility to include voices from more than just these three parties.

Mr Anderson criticises the representation of smaller parties on Committees, noting that a party with over 4 million votes has no representation while another with fewer votes is well-represented. He calls for fairness and inclusion.

Mr Shannon agrees with the mathematical basis of Committee representation but asks if it would be fair to include more representatives from regional areas in Committees like Northern Ireland Affairs, Scottish Affairs, and Welsh Affairs.

Mr Tice reiterates Mr Anderson's concern about fairness and calls on the Leader of the House to demonstrate good will towards smaller parties by ensuring their representation in the Modernisation Committee.

Ms Chowns suggests that the establishment of a Select Committee through a motion on modernisation could be an opportunity to demonstrate good will towards smaller parties by ensuring their representation.

Welcomed the initiative taken by the Leader of the House for improving standards in public life but emphasised the importance of cross-party consensus and time for discussion. Noted that Members will no longer be able to be paid for providing advice on public policy or current affairs, which is broadly supported but requires clarification on certain points. Asked about the implications of the proposed rule changes on individuals who might offer unpaid advice as part of their other paid activities and whether it would preclude a person being paid by a political party from offering advice on public policy matters. Mentioned that limb (c) of the rules, allowing Members to be paid for media appearances, journalism, writing books, delivering lectures, remains unchanged. Raised concerns about the Modernisation Committee potentially superseding or impeding the work of existing Committees such as Procedure, Privileges, Standards and Administration Committees. Proposed amendments to ensure these Committees are properly involved and their expertise is heard, suggesting that the Chairs of those Committees should be added to the Modernisation Committee and that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards should attend meetings.
