Nicky Campbell presents the moral, ethical and religious discussion series live from Michaelston Community College, Cardiff. There is a statement re Paul Flynn MP below.

The questions debated are:-
Should MPs work full-time for their salaries?
Does absence of refusal to sex amount to consent?
Are we right to dismiss astrology?

Note: At about 7mins 10 seconds into this programme, during the live debate about "Should MPs work full-time for their salaries?", an opinion is expressed by an audience member concerning the Labour Party and Paul Flynn MP's position concerning the issue of MP's having second jobs. The audience member is Paul Halliday who is also the Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate for Newport East. By way of response to those comments, Paul Flynn MP has asked us to point out that he donates all income from his books to charity, a practice he has made public regularly and one which he advocates other MPs should adopt in relation to any additional income they receive.
