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 concede that a small number of colleagues have overstepped the mark. However, I am sure that in 2008-09, when the hon. Gentleman spent substantial sums of his communications allowance on communicating with his constituents, which I notice he has now ceased to do—presumably in the light of his leader's pronouncements on these matters—his communications were entirely about democratic accountability. With my now extensive knowledge of the hon. Gentleman, I would expect nothing less of him.
