Potential Misbehavior Of UK MPs And The Sex Tourism Scandal
Overseas representatives are availing such opportunities to please the MPs The packing MPs’ agendas involved were discussed at the meetings but women were supplied during these overseas meetings as well.

A former British parliamentarian shared that the government held “deep frustrations” regarding the behavior of the U.K. MPs. The source revealed that government officials are upset over the behavior of the UK MPs.
These MPs are viewing themselves as celebrities and they are caught drinking and behaving badly. They are also patronizing to fellow politicians and don’t mind people around them. They leave a bad impression on the people from the host countries. The waiting staff is also upset with the boorish behavior of the MPs.
APPGs have allowed the use of the U.K. parliamentary premises for meetings. A special portcullis logo has also been introduced to keep the meetings private. The official parliamentary bodies are not paying attention to such benefits within the country and aim to attend meetings overseas.
Unlike select committees, there has been no formal system to decide their membership. They also don’t have a dedicated staff that can provide them with an external body. A private company or a charity organization has been paying special attention to cater to their needs.
MPs do not receive any salary for attending APPGs, and all the trips that they undertake are free of all costs. MPs consider this a part of the APPG activities and also share and register their interests. However, these trips are not subject to any kind of formal reporting process.
