Expenses
Bone employs his wife, Jennie, as his executive secretary. In 2007–2008 he paid her "in the top bracket of up to £40,000" per annum and was also one of 32 MPs who claimed the maximum allowance of £4,800 a year for food. His expenses for 2007–2008 were ranked 115 out of 645 MPs.
His expenses for 2008–2009 were ranked 84th. He was not mentioned in the 2009 Legg Report and therefore was not one of the 343 MPs required to pay back any money.
Recent summerised expenses with links to detail are on his page of the Parliamentary Standards web site and interests on the They Work For You web site.

Famous quotes containing the word expenses:
“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
