Although figures for 2008-9 are not yet publicly available, I would like constituents and others to know that I made no claim for additional costs allowance at all in the last year.
I do not employ any members of my family or any relatives. I have two full time and two part time members of staff working in my House of Commons and Constituency offices who all have contracts and are paid in accordance with trade union and House of Commons agreed scales. None of them are related to me.
I am a full time Member of Parliament and do not have any other paid employment.
