MPs voted in favour of reviewing the standards process after former Conservative minister Owen Paterson was found to have breached lobbying guidelines by the Commons鈥� standards committee. The vote means Paterson鈥檚 case will now be reviewed by a new committee chaired by fellow Conservative John Whittingdale. Labour said the move highlights the government鈥檚 鈥渃orruption鈥� and that it wouldn鈥檛 take part in the new committee.

Chair of the current standards committee, Labour MP Chris Bryant, spoke to Nick Robinson this morning and condemned the vote as a 鈥減erversion of justice鈥�. Also speaking to the Today programme was the Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng who said the government was 鈥渢rying to reform the system鈥�.
