MP's Expenses: Taxpayer foots the bill for Birkenhead MP Frank Field’s shoe repairs

THE taxpayer footed the bill not once but twice for an MP’s shoe repairs.

The website of Frank Field, MP for Birkenhead, reveals in 04/05 he received £26.50 under the additional cost allowance for having his shoes repaired.

Claim forms posted on his official site also showed he again had his shoes mended as part of a £200 miscellaneous claim in January 2006.

The claim also covered the cost of gardening and unnamed medicines.
