Original Note:
The 2017 ban on MPs employing family members exempts those who already did so before the rule was imposed - including Ms Mercer, who had worked for her husband part-time since 2015. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/family-affair-mps-employing-relatives_uk_618a3646e4b06de3eb7a27ad/ The pay ranges for MPs’ staff are set by an independent body, IPSA. https://www.ipsaonline.org.uk/guidance/pay-and-benefits#mps-staff-job-descriptions-and-pay-bands-for-2023-24
