Expenses are the actual cost of the hotel or meal, you need receipts to claim expenses. If Graham voted against the increase that doesn't mean that he shouldn't be allowed to claim expenses up to the previous limit.

No councillors should not be out of pocket for expenses, however clearly Graham does not believe that the expenses need to be increased, so why should he need to spend above the previous limit? Unless he was just voting for popularism and that the expenses increase was needed...
