Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Communications Allowance.
Communications Allowance
I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for giving way. I am grateful to him also for bringing this matter before the House. It is important to inform, engage and empower our constituents and any decent Member of Parliament will use and will have used the allowance to do just that—for example, to inform constituents about claiming pensions credit and changes to national insurance for carers from 1 April. The cynical and negative view of the communications allowance that we have just heard from Her Majesty's official Opposition is disgraceful, and that is what brings this House into disrepute.
