I'm curious because for me, banning working or consulting for any kind of commercial company would do it. Those are the jobs I think are wrong. Any job which basically amounts to lobbying. As you say being a doctor or barrister is different. Hell, tbh I don't mind Geoffrey Cox consulting as a lawyer, just as long as he's doing it in his own time and not in his office. The fact that he was in an online meeting and then got up to vote on something is atrocious though. If you're going to vote on something you should be there for the debate. That's a good example of interfering with their role as an MP. However, what if an MP owns a company. Clearly then they are biased, but they aren't technically being hired I guess. I'm trying to think of grey areas.</p></blockquote><p></p>
