Anne Main: Statement on the Kelly Report
Press Release :
5 November 2009
Responding to the publication of the Kelly Report on MPs’ expenses, Anne Main, MP for St Albans said:
“My flat in St Albans has proved extremely useful in my role of serving my constituents, maintaining close contact with the citizens of St Albans and attending up to 200 events a year in the constituency.”
“Obviously, we all need to digest the detail of the report which will go before the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority for scrutiny and fine tuning. I will of course comply with any new regulations which come in to force and within the time scales as they are set down. I do not employ any members of my family so will be unaffected by any detailed recommendations on this aspect.”
“At this stage, all I can say is that it is my firm intention to keep a base in the city as I believe it is the only way I can give my constituents the level of service and commitment they require and I will also continue to commute using public transport. Whilst we are fortunate, we are not a wealthy family, so as a family we will have to give careful consideration as to how we will be able to do this, but I will fully comply with the rules as they are laid out.”
