DECISION NOT TO SORT OUT MP'S ALLOWANCES "MINDBLOWINGLY STUPID AND ARROGANT" - MULHOLLAND

July 16, 2008 5:02 AM

Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North West, said in Parliament today that not voting for root and branch reform of MPs expenses was 'mindblowingly stupid and arrogant."

MPs were offered another chance to vote on the overall package of reforms today.

Commenting Greg said:

"What we need is root and branch reform of MP's allowances.

"Instead the Government has presented watered down reforms that in reality will do nothing to restore public confidence in the system.

"The system remains flawed, and I will continue to press at every opportunity for real reform."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
