Nadine Dorries - Standards and Privileges Committee Contents


25.  Letter to the Commissioner from Neighbour 3 (constituency), received 25 January 2010

We live in the property directly next door to the house of Nadine Dorries, the MP, and we are the only property which has a front door next to hers. We live in a terraced row of houses.

Her kitchen and our living room are next to each other.

Mrs Dorries has no carpets and so not only do we see her car pull up when she arrives and leaves, we can hear her.

We can hear the sound of the water running, the kettle filling and the switch being switched on and off.

We can hear almost every word if she has her daughter with her as the walls are so thin. We can also hear her walking up and down the stairs.

When she does arrive at the house it is often very late at night but because I watch television until quite late I am usually still up. She often waves as she gets out of the car. When she leaves it is usually very early, well before our children leave for school.

Sometimes I see her arriving early in the morning and then she leaves later in the day but she doesn't return.

It would be absolutely true for me to say that Nadine Dorries is hardly ever here and I hardly ever see her. If I had to put a number on it I would say I have seen her about twenty times over the last year.

When she isn't going to be at the house for long periods of time she lets us know so that we can keep an eye out.

She was away from the house from the beginning of July until October right the way through but we did see her during the day sometimes. She said she was coming to collect post and work in the office which she has in the house.

She often brings her dog with her and sometimes her daughter. When she comes back late at night she always gets out of the car alone.

There are neighbours on the other side but they have a house in France and are away most of the time. They have only been here for about three weeks out of the last six months that I can recall.

If the Telegraph is right and they have sent you a statement then I hope they have made that clear.
