Closed Make MP’s automatically lose their job if they are imprisoned.

Closed on

It is wrong that MP’s can keep a position in government if they are sent to prison. If they are unable to attend parliamentary duties because of imprisonment they should be removed as an MP. MP’s should be setting an example and working to employment rules you would expect in the private sector.
