Chairman responds to Times article
Quote:
Responding to the report in today’s (25 February) Sunday Times regarding alleged misappropriation of European parliament allowances by Tom Wise MEP, party chairman John Whittaker has issued the following statement.
"The European parliament has already conducted its own enquiry into this matter in early 2006. Although it found that Mr Wise had infringed the rules about handling parliamentary allowances, its conclusion was that ‘Parliament Services are satisfied that Mr Wise’s financial position vis-à-vis parliament in respect of allowances he has received are correct and intend no further action in this regard.’
"The UK Independence Party would never condone the misuse of public money. It will respect the results of the OLAF enquiry into this matter and will take whatever steps it deems appropriate as a consequence of that enquiry."
