Matt Hancock and Kwasi Kwarteng met with a sham company in a stunt set up by campaign group Led by Donkeys.
Matt Hancock and Kwasi Kwarteng agreed to work for a fake South Korean company for £10,000 a day, footage from a campaign group appears to show.
Former education secretary Sir Gavin Williamson, 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady, and former health minister Stephen Hammond also feature in the video released by the group. His spokesman said: "The accusation appears to be that Matt acted entirely properly and within the rules, which had just been unanimously adopted by Parliament. It's completely untrue to suggest any wrongdoing and therefore absurd to bring Mr Hancock into this story through the illegal publication of a private conversation.
In a statement to the group, he said he had an "exploratory discussion" with someone purporting to be from the firm, adding: "I made it clear that any arrangement would have to be completely transparent and that whilst a Member of Parliament, I would only act within the terms of the Code of Conduct."
Both Sir Graham and Mr Hancock have previously announced they are planning to stand down at the next election.wider discussion about MPs having second jobs in recent years
