And here is the response from my MPs office. Snout firmly in trough.,
"
Thank you for your email about MPs allowances. Therese has explained that it's accurate that an extra £10k can be claimed to support activity due to CV19 but it is not a grant.
She expects her budget to incur some expenses as she has allowed staff to buy printers and other equipment they may need to work at home, as well as any extra expenses on their telephones.
Best wishes
