Or is it better?
Everyday more and more revelations about how MP's and government minister's (past & present) have and are claiming for expenses that they are not entitled to.
For repairs, improvements, pools, cleaner's, trouser presses, security, TV's, mortgage interest and more... what will be next!
But, I have just seen the bets so far. An MP claiming that he doesnt think his constituents would mind his having claimed for a £1050 TV! A better TV than he has in his main family home!
Why are we even paying for a TV? Surely if he gets a salary, gets his 2nd home paid for etc he can furbish it himself?
But he will now pay it back to good causes coz he has done nothing wrong!
According to the rules? maybe not! but morally? definately!
I would like to know howcome they MP's expenses are checked when submitted BEFORE approval and why the Inland Revenue hasn't picked up on these claims.
Any normal emplyee submitting an expense claim has to justify and prove it, so why don't MP's.
