Dear Martyn Taylor,
Many thanks for your FOI response. Those board guys sure like
biscuits from the public purse eh?
I'll await your publication of board renumeration - replying on
future publication is fair - but only if you do actually publish.
IPSA, an organisation established to publish MPs' expenses, has so
far published precisely nothing on which expenses have been claimed
- so you'll excuse my scepicism.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Smith
