Proceeding contribution from Keith Hill (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Communications Allowance.
Communications Allowance
I was about to remind the House that I make my case for the communications allowance on entirely disinterested grounds. Members may be aware that I announced some two years ago that I would retire at the general election, so I have no personal stake in the allowance. I make the case for it because it is right in democratic principle and because I believe its withdrawal could lead to injustice. I shall now give way to the hon. Member for Castle Point (Bob Spink), because I am particularly fond of him as an independent-minded Member. However, I propose to proceed with due haste thereafter.
