Have just looked at the 2007/2008 expenses and ?16,500 was paid to the Lewisham Labour Party for his part or shared use of a building as his Constituency Office.

Quote:
The sum includes agreed office running costs, use of some office equipment and secretarial support with Constituency Advice Surgeries.


His communication costs are interesting, Jim's Stationary & Postage costs were almost half those of the other two Lewisham MP's.

His mobile phone bill normally about ?35 a month shot up to ?132.25 in June and ?132.67 in November, I guess he was abroad at those times.

Not sure why taxpayers were asked to pay ?275 to complete his tax return, wouldn't that be a personal matter unconnected with being a MP?
