Taxpayers To Foot ?1m Bill For Expenses Quits
The 12 MPs who plan to stand down at the next election in the wake of revelations over their expenses will cost the taxpayer more than ?1m, it has emerged.
Douglas Hogg, who claimed ?1,645 for a duck island, is set to receieve ?60,000
If the general election is not called until next spring, their salaries will cost more than ?600,000 combined.
And generous "resettlement grants" will see MPs receive between ?32,000 and ?65,000 each on leaving office.
The MPs - including Tory Julie Kirkbride and Labour's Margaret Moran, who announced their intention to quit today - are also in line for gold-plated pensions.
The resettlement grant, which is payable at the next general election, is calculated on a sliding scale according to an MP's age and their length of service in the Commons.
The first ?30,000 is tax-free.
Tory Douglas Hogg, who quit after revelations about his moat-cleaning expenses, will receive just under ?60,000 in the "redundancy" payout if an election is called after February next year.
Both Ms Kirkbride and Tory Christopher Fraser - who claimed more than ?1,800 to buy 215 trees and fencing - will both receive ?32,000.
Ms Kirkbride's husband and fellow Tory MP Andrew MacKay is set to get around ?65,000.
Ms Moran, who claimed for treating dry rot at a home 100 miles from her constituency, will receive a grant of ?54,000.
The MPs who have announced their intention to stand down at the next election following expenses revelations are Michael Martin, Sir Peter Viggers, Douglas Hogg, Anthony Steen, Ben Chapman, Ian McCartney, Andrew MacKay, Sir Nicholas and Ann Winterton, Margaret Moran, Julie Kirkbride and Christopher Fraser.
