FIGURES disclosing how much the county’s MPs earn from outside financial interests have been revealed by Parliament.

The figures range from hundreds of pounds received for media work to thousands of pounds for professional roles with large companies and for book royalties.

The information is listed in the most recent register of MPs financial interests’ of January 11.

It states that Bill Wiggin, MP for North Herefordshire, receives £12,000 a year from Allpay Limited to attend around four meetings on an annual basis as the payment collection firm’s non-executive director.

Also noted is Mr Wiggin’s recent appointment as managing director of Bermuda-based Emerging Asset Management Ltd.

It is a role that he took on last November and will see him work around eight hours a week for an expected remuneration of £3,333 a month – just shy of £40,000 a year.

On its website, the firm states it provides new and established, small to medium sized fund managers with an innovative turnkey solution on how to start a hedge fund and launch new funds in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Delaware, USA.

Mr Wiggin also received £2,500 between October 2014 and March 2015 as the non-executive director of Philip T English International Financial Services Ltd, based in Banbury.

And between December 2014 and September 2015 he received a total of £28,420.23 from Apex Fund Services Holdings for his role in seeking new clients for the business’ offices.

Mr Wiggin has not responded to the Hereford Times despite this newspaper making repeated attempts to speak to the MP with regards to the payments.

Meanwhile Hereford and South Herefordshire MP, Jesse Norman, earned £1,850 in 2015 for writing articles for titles including The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph and The New Statesman – all of which went to local charities.

Payment for Mr Norman’s appearances at events – including at Intelligence Squared on May 21 2015 for £500 and £450 from the Employee Ownership Association – were also donated to charity.

He received £744.64 in royalties for his book from Harper Collins as well as £557.34 from Liberty Fund Inc for his role at a conference in France.

A further £19,961 was received from Peter Fraser & Dunlop Ltd as an advance for Mr Norman’s forthcoming book.

There is no suggestion either of the county’s MPs has breached any rules, and all interests were properly recorded with the Register of Members Financial Interests.

MPs are required to register within 28 days any interest which someone might reasonably consider to influence their actions or words as an MP.

Parliament publishes these interests in the Register of Members' Financial Interests, which is maintained by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

The register is published on the parliamentary web pages every two weeks during sitting periods and approximately once a month at other times.

Entries remain for twelve months or until they have appeared in the annual hard copy of the register, if that is later.

MPs serving neighbouring counties are also listed on the register.

While a partner at Gatley Fams, MP for Ludlow, Philip Dunne, registered that he received £15,793 for approximately 50 hours work for the period ending April 5 2015.

Harriett Baldwin, MP for West Worcestershire, had one interest registered in January 2015.

It said that a donation of £2,000 was received from Lord Fink, relating to support linked to an MP but received by a local party organisation or indirectly.
