AN MP has revealed that two packets of luxury biscuits, costing taxpayers �34.38, were for a member of staff.
Mid Beds MP, Nadine Dorries, has said on her blog that the chocolate treats were for her "angel", Pippa.
She also says Pippa is responsible for submitting every single claim for her expenses. "I don't even see them," she explains. "Pippa has done the lot."
Ms Dorries continues: "She does have one flaw though, biscuits.
"When I told her the posh chocolate biscuits had been listed in the press, she retorted 'well, you don't expect me to eat family circle under this kind of pressure do you?'
"No, I don't, because she has been bang on in her judgment and the way she has handled our office accounts.
