PM breaks his promise on MP moonlighting
Cameron ditches 2009 vow to end practice
DAVID Cameron refused to support a ban on double-jobbing MPs last night — breaking a public promise he made before becoming Prime Minister.
Mr Cameron attempted to stop action being taken over the latest cash-for-access scandal having declared in 2009 that “double-jobbing MPs won’t get a look-in when I am in charge.”
In a desperate bid to divert attention from his U-turn, Mr Cameron launched another “tiresome” attack on trade unions.
