Tories accused of hypocrisy for secrecy about how many days MPs clock in

Jacob Rees-Mogg among ministers trying to stop release of data about use of Commons work passes

Ministers have been accused of hypocrisy for allegedly trying to cover up" their attendance in parliament, after an attempt was launched to block the information being released.

Despite government departments being closely monitored to ensure civil servants are back in the office amid a crackdown on remote working, Jacob Rees-Mogg led a pushback against data being published about the number of days when MPs use their work passes.
