27. E-mail from Rt Hon Andrew Mackay
to the Commissioner, 9 June 2010
I appreciated the opportunity to further answer your
queries at today's meeting.
You will recall you questioned the legitimacy of
a Member claiming financial support from the taxpayer for both
his homes. It occurs to me you may wish to consider press reports
stating that senior Ministers claimed ACA whilst also living in
"grace and favour"
accommodation entirely funded by the taxpayer. It appears that
in some cases there was "flipping"
and in others the "third"
home was sold. As a consequence in each case the taxpayer was
funding both homes.
