Parliamentary career

During his time as an MP, Rogers served on the Welsh Affairs Committee, Public Accounts Committee and the European Scrutiny Committee.

The Guardian reported that he was being offered a peerage in return for another candidate taking his seat, as it is one of Labour's safest, an offer which he allegedly rejected.[5][6]
