Whilst it would be of some interest in find out who owns and owes what to who, before we start thanking the new elected tory boy, a small quote from the Kentish press "Figures released by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) reveal that Mr Collins claimed for three lots of £1,450 to cover his rent while leasing out a property belonging to his wife." that's just in the first three months of the current parliament.
His explanation is along the lines of "I can't live in our second home in London and claim the rent as that would be used by my wife to pay the mortgage she has on the property (breaking the government rules), therefore despite owning a perfectly serviceable home in London we rent that to someone else (anyone care to bet another Tory MP) so they pay the mortgage and I am able rent an additional second home at taxpayers expense (and probably pay the rent to another Tory)." And they say KFB is on the fiddle :-) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Cundell <[email protected]> To: 'leedslist' <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:08 Subject: Re: [LU] govt enquiry N if wrote: > and whether opening the whole can of worms would do us, the club much > good or even worse?

I imagine that the train of thought is that it will be short term pain for long term gain. Personally, though, I can't see why we aren't revering - Ken Bates, Saviour of Leeds United.
