Thomas Legg apologises to Ken Clarke over expenses miscalculation
Sir Thomas Legg has offered Ken Clarke an ''unreserved apology'' after asking him to repay £3,000 too much during his inquiry into MPs' expenses.
Whilst it is accepted that Ken Clarke is not one of the worst cases involved in the expenses scandal, and that Legg miscalculated the amount to be repaid, nevertheless there is the issue of why should the public pay for cleaning and gardening in MPs second homes?

I sincerely hope this is not the dam bursting, and we will see Sir Richard appearing at the Bar to offer all the "Honourable Members" an unreserved apology!
I'm sure Mr. Clarke has enjoyed a very good standard of living at our expense, and should have seen the mistake in his expenses as his "silence" tax.
Just another squealing trougher!
BB: I did wonder about that myself...
Perhaps, the public should prepare an apology for making such a fuss over hands dipping into the public purse? It's custom and practice...
It does seem to be a case of the American Starr Report again though.
