PAUL HALLORAN AND MARK HOLLINGSWORTH - A Bit on the Side. Politicians - Who Pays Them?

London England, Simon & Schuster, 1994. 1st Paperback Edition, Binding: Softcover, Good. 64mo - up to 3" tall 0671713507 Paperback All MPs have to declare their private commercial interests, but the official Register of Members Interests makes pretty baffling reading. This book is an accesible and informative guide that gives the real state of affairs: a list of all MPs and MEPs with outside financial interests. But instead of stopping at that, the authors detail the type of business behind the often obscure company name, the clients of the PR and lobbying firms that hire MPs as directors and details of shareholdings. And a reverse directory by type of business - Aviation, Oil, Brewers, Defence, Construction - will enable the reader to see at a glance MPs' interests by category. This book wil reveal information currently kept hidden from the public and offers a new, and sometimes shocking, insight into the workings of our democracy.
