Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 December 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority

I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Windsor (Adam Afriyie) on securing the debate. I am a new Member, one of the 2010 intake. I campaigned against the abuse of expenses, and to this day I am disgusted by it. My concern is very simple: the time that I spend fiddling around with the expenses system is time that I cannot spend helping my constituents. That is my prime concern, and the prime reason why I support the motion.
