House of Lords Expenses Claims
To debate and deal with the possible fraudulent claims of expenses made by Peers for their daily attendance in the House of Lords.
Why is this important?
In the recent BBC TV programme about the House of Lords the Speaker of the House of Lords explained her research in to expenses claims and the amount of work and engagement some Peers have. She refuses to name names and until this is investigated and something is done about it then it is a waste of public finances. During these times of austerity then all areas need to be looked at for potential savings, especially in government.
