Johnson earned £276,000 for speech to American insurers

Away from the autumn statement, and it’s been revealed that former PM Boris Johnson was paid £276,000 for a speech to American insurers just a few weeks after leaving Number 10.

Mr Johnson addressed a conference held by the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers (CIAB) in October.

He is said to have given a 30-minute speech and a 45-minute “fireside chat” at the event in Colorado Springs.

An update to the MPs’ register of interests published on Thursday showed the former PM was paid £276,130 for his services.

The entry says this was for eight hours and 30 minutes’ worth of work – giving him an hourly rate of almost £32,500.

It also confirmed Mr Johnson received transport and accommodation from the CIAB for himself and two members of staff.

Another entry in Mr Johnson’s register of interests showed media mogul Rupert Murdoch paid £11,559 to fly Mr Johnson to a business meeting in Montana and provide him with “accommodation and hospitality” after his appearance in Colorado.
