MPs’ expenses scandal

28th May 2009

The scandals surrounding MPs’ expenses has dominated the news over the last few weeks. LRC Chair John McDonnell MP said:

“Working people expect their elected representatives to be beyond reproach on issues of financial probity and moral standards of behaviour. MPs who have fallen below this standard should acknowledge their failings, apologise and return to the public purse any financial gains they have made as a result of manipulating the allowance and expenses system.”
