Yes
It’s a question of integrity
An MP should not act so as to gain material benefits for themselves their family or their friends - which a non-MP would not get
The Chinese Ambassador shouldn’t be called in to discuss her family holiday being cancelled, if he wouldn’t be called in for you or me

Were you travelling in a personal capacity, or in your capacity as an MP?

Thank you Andrea
I can see the sense in that
Do you have any links to supporting sources, please?
We also need to factor in the money we were paying into the EU, too? I recall that the "Brexit divorce bill" was quite high; so prior annual obligations would be commensurate with that?

If we had still been in the EU, we would have had 20% tariffs instead of 10%, wouldn’t we?
Is it not, therefore, better to be independent, with half the tariffs?

I must say, I’m intrigued-where & when did you find yourself in the role of a teacher? I was under the impression you were busy managing an art gallery & raising children before stepping into politics. Goodness, how on earth did you juggle it all & still carve out time for teaching? I’d love to hear

If the basis is that they lied to Parliament, I agree that is a different matter

Why should Parliament investigate what is, essentially, a personal complaint by Prince Harry - that he has now settled?
If crimes were committed, that can properly be investigated by the police and CPS, regardless of a settlement, all well and good
But Parliament has enough to deal with, surely
