Just going back to this, is becoming a little clearer to me now, after a few hours of research. So, members of the opposition cannot hold the high flying, high allowance paid jobs then ? Is that just the way it is ? Can see no labour members have one particularly.
However, presume that if Labour got back in, they would not be averse to accepting these allowances ... wouldn't expect them not to. What you were saying was that he increased the 'special' allowances and would, therefore, only be paid to Conservative members ?
Ok ... have learnt quite a lot in the last 48 hours, for which I thank you, however, still think you were a little naughty in including the specials in the overall payments.
