MPs should still be allowed to work about 10 to 15 hours a week in second jobs as long as they are not offering political consultancy, the cabinet minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan has said. She told BBC Breakfast: 'I think there is a common-sense test, which is if you probably do 40-50 hours a week doing your main job, doing 10 or 15 hours a week doing something else, whatever you choose to do in your spare time ... is something that is part of the richness of what you bring as an individual to your role as an MP'
