The claim Jim's expenses are open to inspection is not correct, a total of ?12,000 has been claimed without reciepts or records being kept.

Bear in mind roughly ?16,500 has been paid to his local party for office space and services....what little items such as tea, buiscits & newspapers could add up to ?250 every month?

If there was no petty cash box or book kept how did he know he'd spent without fail ?250 a month?

Roz, his partner may have 2 offices but she is not allowed to claim two lots of petty cash, which she has been doing for the past 2-3 years.

Each month for 2-3 years she has claimed the maxiumum ?250 for her constiuency office and against the rules another ?250 for her House of Commons office.

Anyway I see from one of the very few receipts/invoices in her file she supported a local firm, Forest Hill Cars with a ?35 taxi ride.
