TORY ANTICS OVER EXPENSES “UNACCEPTABLE”
Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Clwyd West constituency, Donna Hutton, today condemned comments made by Darren Millar, the area’s Welsh Assembly Member. Mr. Millar, who was thought by many to have previously been plotting against the Welsh Conservative leader Nick Bourne, has now come out in support of him.
Nick Bourne spent £5,000 of taxpayers’ money re-fitting his bathroom and a further £230 on an iPod music player.
Ms Hutton said “Mr. Millar may think this sort of behaviour is acceptable, but the hard pressed taxpayers of towns like Colwyn Bay, Abergele and Ruthin do not.”
“Mr. Millar spends far too much time playing Cardiff Bay media games over his party leadership bid when he should be working for his constituents.”
