Costs of your MP

Ā 

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  The comparative figures for the costs of each MP and his or her office haveĀ  come out for 2008-9. These confirm that I cut the costsĀ of running my office and myself by 12% in the year to March 2009 compared to the previous year. Ā This took me from being the 18th cheapest MP to being the 11th cheapest. I cut more than 10% the following year as well, but the comparative figures are not yet published.

    The question has to be asked as to why you hadn’t done this in Previous years if it was as easy as you demonstrated it to be.

    Well done, ignore the sniping from Matt, it’s very easy to criticise.

    Would love to hear about what you did to cut costs!

    Maybe other MPs would then copy.

    That is really great John. You set an example that should be followed by all MPs.

    Why cannot the Government learn this very simple lesson, and cut its own spending.

    Well done for backing your words with not only action, but results.
