Tony McNulty, a former home office minister, will be censured by the committee on standards and privileges for claiming £60,000 of Commons expenses on the home where his parents live, according to the Guardian.He had claimed for a second home in his Harrow East constituency in London and is expected to be asked to repay £13,000 of the claim.
He will also be asked to apologise to his fellow MPs immediately.
So he will be 'asked' to apologise and pay back £13,000? We guess he gets to keep the other £47,000, and his job, and his pension and his perks and his severance pay when he gets booted out of parliament next year.
Any of us could have been sacked for a basic mistake on a travel expense claim amounting to nothing more than a few pounds, even pence.
