Bootnecks - free stinkers
The protestations of Shahid Malik, the former Justice Minister, over the rejection of some of his expenses claims, were hidden. In 2006, he claimed £2,600 on a 40in flat-screen television and DVD home theatre system.
After the fees office questioned the claim, Mr Malik sent a letter arguing that “natural justice” dictated that it should be paid in full. The letter was removed from his files.
The fact that he designated his cheaply rented constituency house as his “main” home — allowing him to claim thousands for his designated London second home — was also disguised.
