MPs' expenses: wives demand watering down of ban on family members
A wide-scale revolt by spouses of MPs may force the watering down of proposals to ban parliamentarians from employing family members, The Sunday Telegraph has learned.
The difference between prisoners familes who are innocent of any crime, and MPs families who are paid out of the public purse and benefit from the expenses fiddles are aiding and abetting in these crimes and therefore are not innocent. MPs familes are not a class of person in the eyes of the law. All it requires is for Parliament to rush through legislation making it illegal for MPs families to benefit from the public purse. Job done.
