Today’s Times on Line has a story about Lord Bhatia’s House of Lords expenses claims.
This raises the interesting question of whether they are going to be as thorough in their investigations as the Telegraph was with it’s stories about MP’s expenses.
If so, they might like to start with one of their own columnists, William Rees-Mogg.
A previous post on this blog reported that, in the last year for which details were available at the time, Lord Rees-Mogg drew £41,463 in tax-free allowances. £8,923 of this was for ‘office costs’, part of which is quite likely to have helped to subsidise journalistic activities for The Times and other newspapers.
