From the BBC news website:
Peterborough MP Stewart Jackson has confirmed the Telegraph's report that he had made a claim of £304.10 for the upkeep of a swimming pool.
But he added: "The pool came with the house and I needed to know how to run it. Once I was shown that one time, there were no more claims. I take care of the pool myself. I believe this represents 'value for money' for the taxpayer."
I'm sure we're all very grateful to Mr Jackson for having our best interests at heart, and giving us such value for money.
Now, where's my guillotine?
