Government forced into humiliating U-turn over blocking of MP’s suspension

Government forced into humiliating U-turn over blocking of MP's suspension

Sky News understands MPs will vote again on a motion to suspend Conservative MP Owen Paterson from the Commons for 30 days.

Mr Paterson was suspended for taking hundreds of thousands of pounds for lobbying on behalf of private companies.

But that punishment was overthrown yesterday by MPs.

Jacob Rees-Mogg said today the government was now rethinking plans to overhaul the policing of MPs’ conduct.
