MPs expenses

"Just how did Angus MacNeil vote?" a correspondent writes.

With the 7th highest expenses claim of all members you would think that he might have something useful to add, which makes his absence from the debate and his failure to vote all the more baffling.

He was far too busy taking advantage of the John Lewis Summer Sale.....

I guess the fact that more than half of MP didn't vote in the expenses debate has escaped your attention.

A quick check shows that our MP took part in at least 3 other debates last Thursday (the same day as the expenses vote) - in each debate, he asked about the cost of overseas visits for department ministers, so he has been taking an active interest in government expenses.

Actually you will find that he had three written questions answered on Thursday.

As you will see he has been very busy asking the Government about Ministers expenses and travel via a series of questions.

The answers to these questions are already in the public domain, and have been for some time. Ooops, sack the researcher.

Anon 7.54. Perhaps he was wanting to cut overseas expenditure and increase his own expenses. Any mention of claiming for his private piper.

What are you on about. Written questions can be sent in advance. This means that the dick didn't and presumably wasn't party to the debate. He obviously had far more important events to attend to.
