18. Letter to Rt Hon Andrew Mackay
from the Commissioner, 15 February 2010
Thank you for your letter of 12 February responding
to mine of 26 January about this complaint in respect of the identification
of your main home for the purposes of your claims against the
Additional Costs Allowance.
I was most grateful for this response to three of
my follow-up questions. I hope I am right in taking it from your
two letters that your pattern of overnight stays was substantially
the same as your wife's except for September each year, when you
spent some Sunday nights and, as I understand it, Monday to Thursday
nights inclusive in Bromsgrove while your wife and son were in
London so that he could go back to school. Presumably Ms Kirkbride
returned to the constituency with your son on Friday before returning
again to London on Sunday. I take it that this arrangement continued
for some three weeks in September/early October before the House
returned. If I have misinterpreted this, please let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you after the recess
about this and about the remaining two matters. Thank you for
your help.
