SOUTH NORFOLK MP Richard Bacon’s second home expenses have been given the thumbs up by parliamentary auditor Sir Thomas Legg. In his letter to the South Norfolk MP, Sir Thomas states that no payments made to Mr Bacon under the Second Home Allowance need to be repaid. |

Mr Bacon said: “I am grateful to Sir Thomas Legg for his work. MPs are servants of the public and their allowances are funded by the public. I think taxpayers have the right to know how their money is used. “MPs do need a place to stay in London if their constituencies are outside commuting distance, otherwise they could not do their job. It is also quite right that MPs should be audited and accountable on how public money is used”. |
