I have removed reference to his remuneration from his company, sourced from private eye. As:
1) Private Eye is not a neutral source. It is a source that delights in making public figures look bad. Simply rehashing its material here is not in the spirit of NPOV 2) The statement "and receives £40,000 remuneration for this role in addition to his standard salary as a Member of Parliament" is a) only claimed at the time of the publication (does he still?) and b) loaded. Private Eye is insinuating that there's something improper about that. And the phrase "in addition" drawing the reader's attention to the "double salary" is loaded. If we did think this material reliable, we should not include "in addition to...". That MPs are paid is not in doubt, and there's no neutral reason to draw anyone's attention to it. -- Scott Mac 23:23, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
You have a good second point. I don't believe there is something improper in his actions, but I do believe the articles of Members of Parliament should include details on their outside financial interests. I assume they garnered the £40,000 claim from here. [1] We should wait until the next register is published. I appreciate your work, but I originally fought battles over this page with anonymous editors from the Houses of Parliament, so am wary of their agenda. Keep up the good work.

Text relating to Chris Kelly using his Parliamentary account to email MPs to get his sister a job, has been repeatedly removed by addresses in the Houses of Parliament and by Jayen466. I propose this material is retained as relevant and sourced in the article. I have for the time being reverted it back into the article due to concerns over possible Conflict of interest and suggest it remains while under discussion unless a consensus to remove is clear. Thanks -- Fæ ( talk) 18:47, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
