Guardian – Tory MP facing suspension ‘paid another son’
Derek Conway has paid his son more than £40,000 of taxpayers money – during which time junior was at university. A second son was given £32,000 while also at uni. Conway’s chum, Iain Dale, is getting all hissy because anonymous commenters are goading him on his blog. No comment.
