    Surely if this happened at a private company the person would lose their job? :eek: Yet MP's seem to keep doing it!

    It certainly shows their admin workers are crap. It's not hard to submit claims.

    An Ipsa spokesman stressed that the debts from June 29 were a 'snapshot' and in many cases could merely be awaiting evidence from MPs that they were valid claims.

    'An MP may owe an amount to Ipsa for many different reasons, and the fact that an amount is owed does not, in itself, indicate any misuse of the MPs' Scheme of Business Costs and Expenses,' the spokesman said.

    'As part of our credit management programme, MPs are sent financial statements detailing their monthly position with Ipsa. Where MPs have amounts owed to Ipsa, action is taken to recover these amounts.'
