Buckingham MP, John Bercow's expenses were published by the Daily Telegraph in its latest round of revelations. They report that he "flipped" his second home from Buckingham to his London flat and subsequently claimed the maximum possible allowances on it. The full article can be read on the Daily Telegraph's website. Update: The Buckingham & Winslow Advertiser (09/06/2009) reports: "Speaking to the Advertiser on Monday, Mr Bercow said he had done nothing wrong, but would retrospectively abide by the terms of a change in parliamentary rules which meant tax must be paid on the sale of a second home. Mr Bercow said he would be paying £6,508.40 in capital gains tax plus interest." |

Following a meeting of the town council planning committee, Buckingham town councillors have thankfully opposed the building of 700 new homes to the south of the town. Plans had been submitted by Hallam Land Management a few weeks ago to the surprise of many in the town, despite claims of "local support" following a display of the proposals in June. The issue is not yet dead though, with the recommendations of the committee now being put to the AVDC for a final decision. |
