In an exclusive interview MP Andrew Pelling talks about his relationship with his estranged second wife and missing out of his youngest daughter growing up.

As we change topics to his daughter, who he no longer sees, with second wife Lucy, he becomes less verbose and it is clear this subject is one that is very sensitive, He is currently trying to gain access to see his child, and admits every passing day means he has missed another part of her growing up.

"I think in some ways it is not knowing what you are missing. Obviously I have other children and I have seen their milestones but it is something I will never see with her. I think any father feels a sense of protection to their daughter and being worried about what might happen if there was an accident and you were not there to provide help and support. I guess I am also worried about my daughter bonding with me. It is difficult to emote."

Andrew is not embarrassed admitting he still received his MP wage while being off sick between January and July this year, cancelling his constituency surgeries and stopping all public appearances.

"I don't think illness is a matter of choice.

"I did though have to be persuaded to stop struggling to cope and to concentrate on getting better."

But he admits Tokai Tokyo, a Japanese investment company based in the City where he is Head of Origination, became his sanctuary.

He would go there as it was his "safe haven" and he believes they played a "fundamental role" in helping him back to health.

"These people stood by me in my time of trouble.

"I now spend very little time there but it does give me a view into the financial markets that helps my radical commentary on the current economic crisis."

He does not apologise for continuing to work there while not serving his constituents, but admits he felt "bad" he had to hand over his casework to fellow Tory MP Richard Ottaway and Parliamentary assistant Adam Chambers.

"I was working my way back to the House and was just coming here to vote.

"It was still a struggle to come in but I felt if I had not come in for these votes, that I the electorate would not forgive me for those because the result was in doubt so they were really important.

"It was not easy."
