UK MPs have voted to pause the suspension of a lawmaker who'd been found to have abused his position on behalf of two companies who were paying him.
Owen Paterson's suspension will be put on hold while MPs review the way their behaviour is policed.

UK Correspondent Olly Barratt says Prime Minister Boris Johnson got the result he wanted.
