Ian Paisley Junior has confirmed he is receiving a salary from Westminster as a researcher for his North Antrim MP father.

“It means he is being paid as an assembly member, a junior minister and also by his father from his parliamentary allowances,” he said.

Let’s have some disclosure here. How much taxpayers money is being given to these part-time workers?
