A SUSSEX MP is paid £37,000 a year as an adviser to a children’s care provider. Conservative MP Tim Loughton is paid the figure “for an expected commitment of 12 hours a month” but refused to tell The Argus what it entailed. The payment has been revealed in the latest release of the House of Commons register of financial interests. According to the document, the East Worthing and Shoreham MP acts as an adviser to the board of the Outcomes First Group, formerly the National Fostering Agency. He is also chairman of the Quality and Safeguarding Board at the Outcomes First Group.
