The UK’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has decided to suspend MP Ian Paisley from membership pending further investigation into his conduct, Belfast Live reported on Thursday.

In the wake of the suspension, the DUP issued a statement saying: “Officers of the Democratic Unionist Party have considered the report of the House of Commons Committee on Standards on Ian Paisley MP”.

Ian Paisley is now listed as an Independent MP on the British Parliament's website.

The DUP MP was suspended from the House of Commons for 30 sitting days from September 4 following the major breach of parliamentary rules.

He was found to have failed to declare the holidays, that cost more than £50,000, and to have lobbied on behalf of the Sri Lanka government who paid for the holidays.

British Politicians are all corrupt to the core,they can be easily bought over either by money,sex,election support.Because the Christians and Catholics still run our good schools in Sri Lanka we are conditioned from the very early years to believe that the Westerners are all decent and honest.

It looks a bit sad and low to know that an MP, has done this at the expense of the government of a developing country, just to have free holiday.

At least learn from them. Have we ever done some thing like this by our so called UNP and SLFP even after they have found some of their MPs involved in corrupt activities. We can list them in hundreds. At last JVP to their credit sack polgampola from his MP ship when he was ought taking a man in to Japan using his MP credentials.
