Calls for sleaze probe after Labour MPs caught on film

PRESSURE was mounting today for a sleaze probe after several senior Labour MPs were filmed apparently offering their expertise for cash.

One – ex-cabinet minister Stephen Byers – told an undercover reporter he had secured secret deals with ministers, could get confidential information from No 10 and was able to help firms involved in price fixing get around the law.

All those filmed denied any wrongdoing and insisted they had breached no rules.
