MP received £1,100 expenses for four editions of Who's Who
May 16, 2025
|The Guardian
A Conservative MP has claimed more than £1,100 in expenses for copies of the Who's Who reference books for his office – despite its being available in parliament free of charge.
Mark Pritchard's claim for the index, which consists of biographies of notable people, cost the taxpayer £321.17 in January this year.
He has also claimed for three previous years of editions in May 2022, and was granted expenses to cover the 2022 version for £264.54, the 2021 version for £300.82 and the 2020 version for £279.92.
