Allowances
In the interests of openness and accountability, I now plan to publish my claims for Personal Additional Accommodation Expenditure on my website.
The PAAE allows Members of Parliament to be reimbursed for the cost of staying in London on Parliamentary Business. I have a small, 1-bedroomed flat in central London. All claims relate to my flat, which is registered as my second home and not in any way to my main family home in Warrington.
