Nicky Morgan’s plea (Opinion, April 30) for employment reform in parliament should start by making MPs and ministers employees of the state just as civil servants are, and by applying the same strict ban on having other jobs, accepting gifts from lobbyists, hiring unqualified members of their own families, or claiming expenses unconnected with their responsibilities. In return they should be rewarded at appropriate senior civil servants’ pay scales. It can be called levelling up.
