MPs vote to nearly double coffee and flowers budget
Taxpayer watchdogs cry foul after MPs from all parties approve raising incidental expenses from 33 000 to 6 700 a year while office budgets stay the same. They may access more than 15 000 for apartment rentals and ticket allowances rise to 25 percent for spouses and others.
