The Auditor General has refused to sign off last year's House of Commons accounts in full amid serious concerns about millions of pounds of expenses paid to MPs.
Amyas Morse, the head of the National Audit Office, found the Commons authorities unable to provide evidence justifying £2.6 million of claims.
As a result, Mr Morse has qualified the Commons' accounts for 2009/10 - the first year in which he has been required to examine the claims of MPs in any detail.
In his report on the House of Commons Members Resource Accounts 2009/10, Mr Morse said there were £13.9 million of payments to MPs which were "either unsupported or where entitlement could not be fully demonstrated".
He said that the Commons had failed to maintain proper accounting records concerning the £98.1 million of reimbursements to MPs in expenses.
The bastards are still at it. It's the kid the public on we're doing something about it, get some troughers to pay back a few bob and keep the game going.
THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION! GET OUT ON THE
STREETS IN PROTEST
AND HANG ONE MP IN FOUR!
