Proceeding contribution from Lord Shaw of Northstead (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on House of Lords: Allowances.
House of Lords: Allowances
My Lords, I entirely agree with the proposals that have been put forward, but I have one query. Will some discretion be allowed to play a part in fixing entitlement to travel expenses? On the face of it, when we come back in the autumn, I shall be able to claim mileage costs to and from Wakefield station, as well as car parking as well—a weekly Bill of £56. However, I could catch a taxi there and back for £32, which is a difference of £24 or, annually—if I work it out from usual attendance—of £700. Is this discretion open to the authorities that pass my expenses or not?
