Jeremy Corbyn was paid £1,350 to offer civil servants advice on understanding government, newly-published records show.
According to the latest register of members' interests, the Labour leader gave nine lectures to Foreign Office officials through the Civil Service Learning scheme before he was voted into the top job. Between May of last year and this July he charged a rate of £150 for each hour-long session, with the lectures covering "understanding government".

The register was last updated at the end of the November, and it shows that Corbyn has not given any lectures since he became leader.
The veteran MP, who has represented Islington North since 1983, also gave six lectures under the title of "working with parliament" at the same rate of £150, bringing his total earnings from training courses over the period to £2,250.
Under the Civil Service Learning deal, signed in 2012, departments buy training for staff through a single system overseen by outsourcing firm Capita, which sources the suppliers for government courses. CSL suppliers include Civil Service World's parent company Dod's, which runs courses for civil servants under the Westminster Explained banner.
