CHANNEL 4 WATCHDOG PROBES JANET ANDERSON'S EXPENSES
April 20, 2009 7:32 PM
Last night's edition of the Channel four current affairs programme 'Dispatches' launched an investigation into MP's expenses and featured Janet Anderson MP.
Once more the Rossendale and Darwen MP has come under the glare of the public spotlight and has been questioned over her expenses.
The Dispatches programme questioned Ms Anderson's on her mileage claims. In response Janet Anderson provided a statement re-confirming that she will have a full disclosure of her expenses when they get published in July.
Commenting on Ms Anderson's inclusion in last night's Channel four documentary, Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate Dale Mulgrew commented, 'I was interested to see Janet Anderson included in the programme, which was a chilling expose of dubious goings on from different MPs. It was a less than honourable walk of fame.'
'Her comments in response to the journalist were extremely vague and revealed all. For Janet Anderson to remain silent only goes to add to the shroud of secrecy which shields her entire expenses set up.'
'I think the public will be more keen to find out in July what the public money has been used for.'
'But it cannot provide much confidence to the electors of Rossendale and Darwen to see their MP being put on public trial for such activities, when alas she should be instead proving that she is still committed to the job.'
