MP Justin Tomlinson to be sacked for showing Wonga parliamentary documents.
MP Justin Tomlinson breached parliamentary rules by leaking a committee report to Wonga.
According to the BBC:
"He gave a confidential draft report on regulating consumer credit to a Wonga employee, who replied with comments and suggested amendments to the report."
"The PAC investigated the matter and, in a report, said Mr Tomlinson's actions "represented a substantial interference with the work of the committee"."
