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.
