What are the rules for MPs?
MPs must follow a Code of Conduct, which includes rules about registering gifts and hospitality. The rules aim to ensure transparency and prevent undue influence, especially given the nearly £400,000 worth of freebies declared this year. They also cover how MPs behave in Parliament and their use of public resources.
