Commons Speaker John Bercow accused of profiting from work as Government adviser it seems that John Cashcow was paid £40,000 by a health care firm which hired him after he wrote a report which led to a massive increase in special needs funding.
The MP worked for six months for the Priory Group, which runs a number of special needs schools, giving advice about children who suffer from speech and language difficulties.
He attended around five board meetings before he resigned from the post on becoming Speaker last week.
The payments – declared by Mr Bercow in the Register of Members' Interests – will raise fresh questions about the propriety of MPs taking money from firms working in an area in which they have dealt directly in Parliament.
Tory opponents of Mr Bercow, who was voted in as Michael Martin's replacement with overwhelmingly Labour support, said the revelations cast fresh doubts on his suitability as Speaker.
Does it really matter what they say: I for one don’t trust any of the buggers.
