Terry_Tibbs Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Andy Burnham claims £17,000 a year in rent for London flat – despite owning another that's walking distance from Westminster Andy Burnham has been claiming more than £17,000 a year in expenses to rent a flat in London despite owning another property a short walk from Westminster. The Labour leadership favourite has received £ 1,449.98 a month since July 2012 to rent a flat close to the property he already owns in Kennington, southeast London. Mr Burnham moved from his original flat, for which he claimed expenses, just before parliamentary rules changed in August 2012, banning MPs from claiming mortgage interest on second homes. He now receives rental income from the property he owns, while receiving taxpayers’ money to cover the cost of his rented flat. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/po ... 73311.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
