The flaw in the expenses crackdown
The committee chaired by the Speaker has produced another report this morning on expenses, reducing the threshold for producing receipts from £250 to £50. Only problem is it doesn't include the £400 per month food allowance.
"The question of food while working away from home will be considered in the context of the root and branch review of allowances and is not covered by this report," it says
What's to stop them putting in 10 expenses claims without receipt, each to the value of £25, in place of the single claim to the value of £250?
Yet another dodgy con to bleed taxpayers dry...
