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 he was being offered a peerage in return for another candidate taking his safe seat as it is one of Labour's safest seats; an offer which he rejected.[4][5]
