[Geoffrey Cox MP – Torridge and West Devon] …
is known as one of parliament’s highest earners, and has argued that continuing to practise law alongside his parliamentary duties means he has “practical experience of a world outside politics”.
“According to the latest register of members’ financial interests, Mr Cox received £325,000 on June 15 and 16 this year for 500 hours of work carried out between June 2014 and March 2015.
… Under Commons rules external income needs to be registered within 28 days, but the sum was not declared to the authorities until September 30.”
A number of other payments also appear to have been registered late.”
