MPs' expenses: Baroness Uddin claimed another £91,000
Baroness Uddin, the Labour peer under investigation for her expenses claims, made a second series of dubious claims, it has been claimed.
Lady Uddin, the first female Muslim peer, claimed £98,000 in parliamentary allowances by registering as her main home a property in Maidstone, Kent, that she allegedly barely occupied
Those claims were made after she bought the two-bedroom flat in Maidstone in 2005. Her claims relating to Maidstone are already the subject of a police inquiry.
On Sunday, it was reported that between 2001 and 2005, Lady Uddin had declared as her main home a house in Frinton on Sea, Essex, which is owned and occupied by her brother.
That allowed her to claim £91,000 in allowances for peers whose main home is outside London, according to the Sunday Times.
The peer’s brother’s wife, Toni Hayhow-Khan, told the newspaper she was unaware of Lady Uddin having lived in the Frinton house.
Do this lot have no shame?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
