Former minister Tony McNulty is to be rebuked for his expenses claims following an inquiry and asked to repay about £13,000, the BBC understands.
Mr McNulty has been investigated by the parliamentary standards watchdog for claiming the second home allowance for a property in which his parents lived.
The Harrow property was eight miles away from his main central London home.
Who needs a second home 8 miles away from the main home? And, since when has it been up to the taxpayers to subsidise MPs parents standard of living?
This whole snout in the trough lark utterly disgusts me!
UPDATE: MPs' expenses: Tony McNulty subsidised his parents’ rent-free lifestyle
Given that McNulty has stolen £72,500 and is only paying back £13,000 that still leaves £59,500 unaccounted for. He knew full well what he was doing was a fraud.
Unless he repays the full amount he is still in the postion where crime pays!
UPDATE: The Telegraph must read my blog. As I was saying...
MPs' expenses: Tony McNulty allowed to keep £60,000
Tony McNulty has been allowed to keep almost £60,000 he claimed in expenses for a house where his elderly parents lived just eight miles from the "main" home he shares with his wife.
