Standards commissioner resumes Moran probe
Investigation was suspended due to MP's sickness
The Parliamentary Standards Commission has said this morning that it is resuming its inquiry into whether Margaret Moran has breached the MPs' Code of Conduct.
The Commissioner for Standards, John Lyon, launched an investigation last year after the MP referred herself to him following the expenses scandal.
But it suspended the inquiry at the end of last year because of the MP's ill health, which has seen her unable to work since her expenses claims were exposed.
But the MP was seen in a Channel 4 documentary on Monday night saying she was able to work immediately for a firm that wanted her to lobby on behalf of its clients.
A spokesman for the commissioner said: "It was suspended on medical advice but has now resumed.
"If it's not finished by the time parliament ends, it will resume when the next parliament begins."
