Former party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, ex-health minister Steve Brine and former Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith have made the move.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said MPs will be banned from advising companies for money. It comes after weeks of negative headlines about Conservative MPs taking on extra work.
There is no suggestion that Mr Smith, Sir Iain or Mr Brine has done anything wrong.
According to the latest register of MPs’ interests, Mr Smith, MP for Skipton and Ripon, has given up three advisory roles.
He previously received payments from Hygen Energy at a rate of £60,000 for 20 hours’ work a year; Simply Blue Management at the rate of £2,000 a month, for one to two hours’ work; and MJM Marine at the rate of £60,000 a year, for 30 to 40 hours’ work.
Sir Iain, MP for Chingford and Woodford Green, gave up being a member of the international advisory board of Tunstall Health Group, for which he received £20,000 a year for up to 30 hours’ work.
And Mr Brine, MP for Winchester, relinquished his role as a strategic adviser to Sigma Pharmaceuticals at the rate of £1,666 a month, for up to eight hours’ work.
That’s good news …
