  The two things are not the same - Nadine Dorries has basically removed herself from being able to undertake parliamentary duties - despite claiming a wage for doing so. This is not the same as in the case of Chris-Heaton-Harris (without defending in any way what he did)

  Has Chris Heaton Harris abandoned his parliamentary and constituency duties? Has he disappeared without informing the whips or his party?
