More than fifty MPs have laid off members of their staff recently after the Derek Conway expenses scandal, presumably since they were family members and the MPs did not want to - or simply could not - defend their employment.
Presumably this is why MPs were given until April to declare the details of family members they employ, so that they could all lay them off and thus claim to be shining paragons of virtue.
Despicable.

What’s to say they won’t re-employ them after declaration day?
Presumably the fact that they’ll need to update their declarations as necessary.
