Where a member is, or was, sponsored by any person.

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), a member is, or was, sponsored if the member receives, or has received, any financial or material support as a member (other than services provided by a volunteer) from the same person on more than one occasion which, over a parliamentary session, amounts, in aggregate, to more than the specified limit.

In sub-paragraph (2), the “specified limit” means 1 per cent of a member’s salary (rounded down to the nearest £10) at the beginning of the parliamentary session in question.
