The amount of expenses MPs can claim without a receipt is to be cut from £250 to £25 from 1 April.

The Commons Members Estimates Committee ruled out demanding proof over smaller claims, as MPs often use cash on items "for which receipts are not given".

It also said the amount of petty cash MPs can use for office expenses would be reduced from £250 to £50 per month.

Thanks to John Lewis. The most expensive store in the UK. Wondering why they are still on the high street? Now we know the MP's keep it a float. Laughing

I actually think John Lewis is a good shop, I always find their customer service to be exellent and don't forget Waitrose is part of the 'partnership' the best food store by a mile.
