Yesterday, Mrs. Cadman was asked if she considered it a bribe and she said \u201cyes\u201d. Her daughter says the same thing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"937909\" data-originallang=\"en\">Under the existing parliamentary life insurance plan, if members cease to be MPs, they can keep their insurance, but the premiums go up and the benefits go down.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"937910\" data-originallang=\"en\">Did the Conservatives offer to make up that difference in exchange for Mr. Cadman's vote? Was that the offer?</p>",
