2021/22 Expenses comments - 6/2/23
/I was asked to comment on my expenses of 2021/22 by the Cumncok Chronicle.
These comments are copied below:
“The only notable trend is that of travel and this is pretty straightforward. With the pandemic, we were not travelling to London often and working from home for the most part. It is clear that the cost for 21/22 is in line with most years pre-covid and the reason 20/21 is so low is as a result of physically not being able to travel due to the lockdowns.
“I do my best to get value for money on travel. However, anyone who regularly commutes to London will also be aware that post covid, travel costs - particularly on the trains - is more expensive than pre covid times.
“All expenses occurred for travel, accommodation and operation of the constituency office are of course claimed in accordance with the rules set by the independent overseeing body, IPSA.”
