The Prime Minister is to repay more than £12,000 in expenses for cleaning, gardening and maintenance at his second home, according to his spokesman.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.itn.co.uk/44172514527481157b26363b8306626d.html"><DIV>
                        The repayment came after auditor Sir Thomas Legg wrote to all MPs to highlight concerns which have arisen during his inquiry into expenses paid out over the past five years.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.itn.co.uk/44172514527481157b26363b8306626d.html"><DIV>
                        Sir Thomas said that any claim over £2,000 a year for cleaning or £1,000 for gardening is excessive and should be repaid.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.itn.co.uk/44172514527481157b26363b8306626d.html"><DIV>
                        Gordon Brown is to return £10,716.60 in relation to cleaning and a further £1698.50 for two further bills for the period 2004/05 to 2008/09.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.itn.co.uk/44172514527481157b26363b8306626d.html"><DIV>
                        Mr Brown's adviser on the Ministerial Code, Sir Philip Mawer, has ruled that Mr Legg's findings do not amount to a breach, said the Prime Minister's office.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.itn.co.uk/44172514527481157b26363b8306626d.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/news.itn.co.uk/img/48CA5CE4-52EF-4C44-B34A-28A32A6719B3" alt="Prime Minister asked to repay £12,000" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0AF8513D-2FA3-4580-B901-EE85FC6F634A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
