In the Lords as well...

The Sunday Times yesterday was the suggestion that a further LimpDem peer may have been slightly dishonest in claiming expenses. (The earlier case involved Lord Rennard, who was also chief executive for the party. He claimed the allowance for being away from home and being in London, when he was living just across the river in Vauxhall.)

This time the possible guilty party is front Bench health spokesperson Baroness Barker. She has lived in London for many years but a few years ago began to claim that her main address was in a remote part of Sussex, near a village which she could not name. This emerged when the Times approached her earlier this year. In September she "flipped" her main home back to London.

This sounds to be another case which is worthy of further investigation.
