A Step Too Far?

Gordon may inadvertently tell the truth with all this redacting going on.

HoC Censors Expenses Details.

THE House of Commons has decided to censor some of the most important details of MPs’ expenses claims due to be published this summer.

The Commons fees office has told members that the only details of their expenses to be published will be the date of the claim, what was claimed for and the identity of suppliers of office goods.

Some backbench MPs were on “suicide watch” because of concerns that the expenses might show double claims for hotel rooms, exposing extra marital affairs.

MPs are now likely to be told that they are allowed to delete details of hotel stays if the names of the hotels have not been blanked out by officials.

It might prove to be pointless however, if those CDs surface again.
