+++ Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Clears Nadine +++

The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, John Lyon, has rejected the complaint made by Michael Barnbrook of the BNP against Nadine Dorries MP about her use of Parliamentary allowances.

The complaint made was that the second home Nadine Dorries rented in her constituency, was in fact her main home. The Standards Commissioner concludes after an extensive 15 month inquiry that it was not and rejected the complaint.

The report also confirms that Nadine Dorries did not make claims against the John Lewis list, did not claim for a mortgage or furniture, did not flip and that her claims against allowances not inappropriate.

John Lyon concludes “My overall conclusion is that Ms Dorries was not in breach of the rules of the House in claiming against Parliamentary allowances for her constituency home”. Game, set and match, Nads…

UPDATE : Nadine explained to the Commissioner that her blog contained fiction and “poetic licence” as well as fact. Typical blogger…

          So she admits she’s a Liar.

            FFS Fawkes! Either you stand up for bloggers – the honest ones – and give this lying piece of shit a real going over, or you end up being aligned with her!

            There always was a whif of the Walter Mitty about her but sometimes I think that her economy with the actualite has been pre-planned in order to get herself off the hook. There was – perhaps, still is – an institutional disregard for honest standards in expense claims in the HoC/HoL and many of the troughers were told to do so by Whips so that their respective parties could be funded by the over-claims.

            The S&P Committee has been too lenient. More of these excuses for humanity should be in the dock. They would be the first to support such a position should the person doing the fiddling was a banker.

        He said she broke the rules by not notifying the Commons authorities for two years that the address of her main home had changed.

        In his report, however, which is published as an appendix to the Commons standards and privileges committee report into the case, Lyon said he was “disappointed” that Dorries did not give him the information he needed to resolve the complaint more quickly.

        I am disappointed Ms Dorries took as long as she did in providing me with consistent evidence to enable me to resolve this complaint. While I respect her wish for privacy, I do not believe that that wish can extend to the information which a member is reasonably asked to provide to the commissioner to enable him to secure the evidence on which to base an authoritative conclusion. As a result, what should have been a relatively straightforward inquiry, stretched over much too long a period.”

        The fundamental point is that Nadine Dorries is as clean as you or me, in contrast to all those MPs who embezzled by over claiming and deliberately ‘flipping’ their homes.

      Nick says:

      The report says she failed to give evidence promptly and properly (14 weeks for an estimate of how many nights she spent where), and tried to smear someone who gave evidence against her, which “complicated and extended” his inquiries.

      Also, she lied through her teeth in her blog to make it look like she was spending more time in her constituency than she was. Her blog is, however, regarded (by her and the Commissioner, as a work of “fiction”, which is actually somewhat relieving given its contents).

      So there we have it – Nadine is officially not an expenses cheat (apart from employing her daughters wherever possible…).

      But she is officially a liar

    Sir William Waad says:

    Nadine’s Poetic Licence is excellent value at £145.50, or £49 if she only reads blank verse. For that, she can enjoy a huge range of poetry – classical, Augustan, romantic, concrete, modernist, comic or tragic, etc. I have no time for those carpers who say they never read anything by the British Poetry Corporation because it is too soggy-pinko for their tastes. The BPC is the envy of the world (or at least it would be if the rest of the world read it) and I am quite happy for their poets to be paid millions of pounds to produce propaganda and filth.

      “We are very disappointed that, even after seeing the Commissioner’s full report, Mr Mackay maintains that he did not break the rules, when it is quite clear that he did. Mr Mackay has already paid a high price for making such a serious misjudgment. The very fact that Mr Mackay is no longer a Member of Parliament shows what a heavy political price he has paid. He has also repaid a considerable sum of money. Nonetheless, we expect Mr Mackay, having read our Report, to apologise for the breach in writing. Had Mr Mackay still been a Member of this House, we would have recommended that he apologise on the floor of the House by means of a personal statement and we would have recommended a period of suspension from the service of the House.”
