SPEAKER'S WIFE AND TAXI EXPENSES

I spotted this story this morning and whilst the amount of money involved isn't large, they seem be trying to justify it on the basis of a spurious amount spent per week - total nonsense!

Given that she lives in Glasgow she probably doesn't entertain every week. There is a deal of difference between 10 functions costing £1,000 in taxi trips and 40 functions costing £1,000. Also what counts as entertaining, does this include inviting MPs round for a "jolly"?
