DUP MLA from Belfast claims £18,000 in travel expenses
A Democratic Unionist Party MLA from South Belfast claimed £18,000 (€26,700) in travel expenses during a 12-month period despite the fact that his constituency is just 10 miles from Stormont.
The claims are included in new figures out today showing that the 108 Assembly members claimed a total of £500,000 (€742,000) during the 2004-2005 Stormont term.
