"A Royal British Legion worker approached a former Armed Forces minister
following a Remembrance Day service and 'reimbursed' him for £7.20 in expenses
he claimed after attending a previous ceremony.
Fiona Laing, 45, marched up to Sir Nick Harvey, 52, in front of other
dignitaries, officials and members of the public, and gave him an envelope
containing the money."
The MP claims it was a mistake saying :
"Had I spotted that individual item I would not have claimed for it, even though it was permissible within the rules.
"Unfortunately I did not notice it: we are all capable of human error and regrettably this was one on my part."
It seems all lot of MP`s make mistakes when filling out their expenses forms, must be something in the water in the Palace of Westminster.....
