Warsi fights back over expenses
Baroness Warsi has asked the Lords Commissioner for Standards to examine allegations she claimed for accommodation while staying rent free with a party colleague. It has been alleged that the Tory party co-chairman received allowances of £165.50 a night at a time when she was staying at a friend’s London flat. “I take these allegations very seriously,” Warsi said yesterday in Malaysia, where she was on an official visit. “It’s why I said right at the outset that I would fully cooperate with any investigation,” she told ITV, denying that she had done anything wrong.
