MPs’ expenses

Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned by the shambles’ of last years expense accounts, with 14million unaccounted for, the PMS replied that as he understood it, the accounts had been qualified, which was certainly not an ideal situation. There had been a lot of debate in the House on this issue, and it needed to be dealt with.

Asked if he thought the issues would be dealt with under the current system, the PMS replied that there were problems with the system as it stood and those were being addressed. On whether the Prime Minister had a view on how the problems should be addressed, the PMS said that he believed that the House had expressed a view, which was to set a timetable for IPSA to address the problems.
