The below 43 MPs all attended a dinner as guests of various Arms Manufacturer companies. £250 a head, yes you heard right. Quite what you get on your plate for £250 a head Im not sure and I doubt I ever will be in a position to find out.
I thought it would be interesting to check up on the companies, just to see if any of these MPs have any links to them listed in the MPs register of members financial interests and also to check which ones voted for Bombing Syria.
This is a work in progress but as you can see 21 out of the 43 MPs who attended the Arms manufacturer dinner, voted for bombing in Syria. Only 6 voted against (I wonder if they'll be invited next year?)
