Advising private Swiss bank

Woodward has a part-time job advising Swiss private bank Reichmouth & Co. He declares in the register of MPs' interests that he expects to be paid '£35,000 a half year' for 10 days work.

As Private Eye noted, this 'means he will earn more from the Swiss Bank than he does for representing the people of Merseyside'.
