Clause 82 - European travel expenses of MPs and other representatives
Finance Bill
10:15 am

Mr John Burnett (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Torridge and West Devon, Liberal Democrat)
I am more in tune with the hon. Member for Arundel and South Downs. Can the right hon. Gentleman help me by telling me what is meant by the words ''and other representatives'', and what he believes travel expenses to be? For example, do they cover the cost of accommodation? If such expenses were met by an outside company that paid extortionate expenses, would they also be exempt?
