Tory MP Andrew MacKay quits post over expenses

Tory MP Andrew MacKay quits post over expenses



Conservative MP Andrew MacKay has quit as parliamentary aide to David Cameron over what the party said was an "unacceptable" expenses claim.

Mr Cameron has said all Tory MPs must be able to defend their allowance claims after a series of damaging allegations about MP's claims.

Several senior Tory figures, including Michael Gove and Alan Duncan, have agreed to repay money they claimed.

Mr Mackay, MP for Bracknell, is married to fellow Tory MP Julie Kirkbride.
