Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Communications Allowance.
Communications Allowance
I thank the right hon. Gentleman again. He mentioned that more than 600 Members have made use of the communications allowance, but it is worth pointing out for the record that, quite often, one has no choice, because there are some things that were previously allowable under different allowances that can now only be held under the communications allowance, such as, for example, running a constituency website. As he has specifically mentioned my use of the communications allowance, I will say that I have ceased using it and firmly believe that it should be abolished because it is an abuse and has brought this House into disrepute.
