Your Local MP’s Expenses

Stephen HesfordWith all the revelations about MP’s expenses over the last couple of weeks  I thought it would be interesting to look at the expenses claimed for (2007/2008) by Stephen Hesford, MP for Wirral West (official site).

Hoylake of course falls within the Wirral West constituency.

In total Mr Hesford claimed for £166,866 apparently making him the 33rd most expensive out of the 645 MPs. Here’s what he spent that money on (ranking out of 645 in brackets):

Additional Costs Allowance: £21,665 (304th)
London Supplement: £0
Incidental Expenses Provision: £27,038 (26th)
Staffing Allowance: £83,825 (448th)
