That'd work out at around £4,500 for nothing. |
I don't know about that, but I find this more than outrageous.
The employment committee never met between April 2005 and May 2010, but a Tory councillor claimed an allowance every year for chairing the committee. This amounted to £2765.51.
Also the Judical Committee (External Funding) never met in 2008-2009, and 2010-2011, but the chair claimed an allowance both years of £1432.78 in 2008-2009 and £1484.00
I'm not suggesting any actual rules were broken, but the fact this is possible is very wrong.
If this abuse of allowances was going on in a private company, the boss would be threatening those doing it with the police, and charges of fraud.
