What did Norfolk and Waveney MPs get paid for second jobs?

The South West Norfolk MP's second jobs included a speech in Taiwan for the think tank Prospect Foundation, for which she was paid £20,000 per hour for four hours.

In total - for that speech and three others, in India, Tokyo and Switzerland, which all followed the Conservative's short stint at 10 Downing Street - she received £189,200. That was a rate of £15,700 an hour.

A spokesman for Liz Truss said:
“Since stepping down as prime minister, Liz has continued to work hard for her constituents in South West Norfolk.

"Amongst other things, she has helped secure a new hospital to replace the QEH in King’s Lynn, she has ensured a new banking hub will open in Downham Market and has stood up for the interests of local farmers.”

Of other Norfolk and Waveney MPs, Great Yarmouth's Sir Brandon Lewis, a former justice secretary, was paid £51,770 for 76 hours of work in second jobs.

That included work for Essex-based Woodlands Schools, which the Conservative recently became a director of for the second time, and advice to West Sussex property developer Thakeham Homes and Kent-based civil engineering company FM Conway.

Broadland Tory MP Jerome Mayhew was paid £14,720 for 89 hours of work, including £10,200 as a non-executive director of Walsingham Estate Management Ltd.

Fellow Conservative George Freeman was paid £10,000, including £5,000 for consultancy work for PPE firm Aerosol Shield.
