Of course, and no one is querying that.
We are now told by Jaysay that Cllr. Britcliffe actually spent £12.30 on his meal in London. More than the old allowance of £10.00, but a lot less than the increased limit of £25.00.
This is after his comment about writing a guide book if there are places to eat in London for ten pounds.
If he can adequately feed himself in our most expensive city for £12.30, why the need for a £25.00 upper limit?
Councillors in neighbouring boroughs can apparently manage with a much lesser limit, which in these times of financial crisis shows some solidarity with the many people feeling the bitter bite of the credit crunch.
