The searchable database of Assembly Member allowances has now gone on-line here. Without doubt journalists and campaigners are scouring it to get themselves a good story so we thought we might start them off with a quickie.
It has been noted that the Conservative Leader Nick Bourne paid Haecceitas Ltd £2,438.79 in twoinstallments on 8 May 2008 and 7 April 2009 respectively for a website. Does anybody know where this website is?
The only site that we are aware of is this free blogspot account whilst Google does not throw up any new sites either.
Presumably there is a big launch planned and, given the time it has taken to develop and its cost, the site will be very good.
Update: The BBC have identified that Plaid Cymru AMs Chris Franks and Leanne Wood claimed £400 each towards the cost of the party’s stand at the National Eisteddfod in Cardiff. The rationale is apparently so that they could hold surgeries there. Their constituents would have had to pay £12 each to see their AMs with their problems.
