"It was a long meeting on pension reforms, which is an important issue that I take very seriously."
"There was a bit of the meeting that I wasn't focusing on and I probably had a game or two. "I shouldn't do it but if you check the meeting I would say I was fully engaged in asking questions that I thought were particularly important in how we get the pensions issue right."

Mail One also added that, a foootage of the committee meeting has been released and shows a male and a female sitting behind the MP, but it is unclear yet if one of them was the source of the viral photo and video or not.
