Original Note:
MPs were banned from employing ‘connected parties’ from June 2017. However, any MP that employed a connected party prior to that was allowed to continue that employment. Felicity Mercer was employed prior to the changes. So they are not breaking any rules. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/payments_to_felicity_cornelius_m/response/2494999/attach/4/RFI%20202312%2003%20Response.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1
