Additional Costs Allowance

The ACA covers my second home and associated costs and subsistence payments.

The pages have been redacted by the House of Commons authorities to remove all personal details such as addresses, bank details and credit card details.

Incidental Expenses Provision and Communications Allowances

The IEP covers office costs and the Communications Allowance is for items such as constituency newsletters to keep constituents informed about my activities.

Statement about expenses May 2009

I am pleased that the allowance system is being reformed to a more transparent and acceptable arrangement and to end the practice of “flipping” of second home addresses. It will also prevent those members who live within daily commuting distance of Parliament from claiming the second home allowance.

Whilst I am gravely concerned about the alleged claims of some MPs, I am also appalled that there has been such a major leak of personal information. Like all MPs, I have received a letter from the House of Commons Authorities warning that I should mitigate any risk to myself and my staff from personal information being released into the public domain.
