The Daily Mail reports that Tory MEP Sir Robert Atkins has been forced to defend his fact finding trip to the USA. His claim for £2,500 was approved by the EU parliament
I have a long-standing interest in US politics which goes back to 1972
That’s alright then, I have a long standing interest in New Zealand Fly fishing that goes back to 1975, can someone tell me who will pay for my fact finding mission please.
Oh! yes just by the very strangest of coincidences is seems that Sir Robert’s son who is a Brussels lobbyist, was marrying his American fiancée just at the time Sir Robert chose to go on his fact finding mission.
