Nadine Dorries TV fees apology

The Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has apologised to the Commons after an investigation found she breached the rules of the House by failing to declare her earnings from ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here' and other media work.

Ms Dorries told MPs that her mistake was a "genuinely inadvertent breach of the rules".

Nadine Dorries had claimed she did not need to declare the earnings because the money was paid into a company of which she was the sole director, and because of a confidentiality agreement with ITV.
