Book excerpt: This report is into the investigation by the Palriamentary Commissioner for Administration of a complaint that Sir Bob Russell, the Member for Colchester, made claims against parliamentary allowances for the rental of his constituency office from 2002-03 to 2009-2010 when that accommodation was owned by company in which he and a family member held shares. The Commissioner did find that Sir Bob Russell was in breach of the rules, that there was a misreading and misunderstanding of the rules. However the seriousness of the breach was strongly mitigated by findings in relation to disclosure. The Committee agrees with those conclusions and has recorded the breach. No further action is recommended.
