Former North Shropshire MP and ardent Brexiteer Owen Paterson is taking the Government to the European Court of Human Rights over a ruling by Parliament’s standards watchdog that he broke lobbying rules.
Legal commentator Joshua Rozenberg tweeted that the case has been “communicated” to the Government by the court, giving the Government an opportunity to respond.
The Commons Standards Committee said his actions were an “egregious” breach of the rules on paid advocacy by MPs and recommended that he should be suspended for 30 sitting days.
