From BBC website today:
The Parliamentary body set up to police expenses will cost about six times the amount MPs have been ordered to repay, the BBC has learned.
Figures show the annual cost of running the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority will be £6.5m.
Last week, MPs were told to pay back £1.12m of their second home expenses after an audit of their claims dating back to 2004 by Sir Thomas Legg.
You couldn't make it up could you?
As Victor Meldrew would say "I don't believe it!"
But sadly we all know it is almost certainly true, and we will just swallow it.
