Phantom Mortgage Turned out to Be Illegal

It was proved that in accordance with the existing documents, Ben Chapman, MP for Wirral South asked for £1,900 to pay off a monthly cost of the house in the capital instead of just £400. In 2002 he paid off £295,000 of his loan. The Daily Telegraph revealed the information that Mr. Chapman was going to over-claim after he disputed with officials in the Commons Fees Office, which was recognized as a trick to gain more interest and investment opportunities elsewhere. From informal sources it became known that Mr. Chapman kept over-claiming for 10 months, until a new expenses checkup explicitly unmasked the practice out. Mr. Chapman continues to insist that he had not done anything wrong and he is currently refusing to pay anything back. However, this morning when he was coming out of this outstanding home in Lambeth, Mr. Chapman told the reporters that he was unfairly compromised and that there was no sense in further talks until he witnessed himself the documents in question. By the way, the previous scandal on the theme of illegal expenses made Michael Martin, the Commons Speaker, resigned. Usually scandals blaze up around the parliament expenses on 5p carrier bags, chocolate bars and dog food as well as more costly items such as the cleaning of the moat at a Tory MP's country home. As a result, voters distrust both Labour and the Conservatives, which is not beneficial for parties especially on the edge of European and local elections on June 4th.
