Expenses collected.
Dear Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority,
I would like to know in the past 6 months (August 2015-January 2016) in how many sessions of the House of Lords. Did Lord Alan Sugar and Baroness Karen Bradey collect any expenses they are entitled to as Lords.
And if so, how much they have collected in these sessions.
Yours faithfully,
Duncan Cushenan
