The modernisation committee, chaired by Lucy Powell, will examine the implications of MPs taking on paid media roles and the potential conflicts of interest that arise.
Recent years have seen a notable rise in the number of MPs assuming paid media roles, raising concerns about transparency and public trust in parliament.
The committee stated that past misconduct has eroded public confidence, emphasizing the necessity for MPs to maintain high standards and improve the institution's reputation.
In addition to media roles, the committee will also tackle cultural issues within parliament, such as bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct, alongside reviewing second jobs.
