Saves his country £11,000 by paying for data roaming charges incurred doing parliamentary business.

'The matter has been taken in hand and settled' said the soon to be ex minister.

What else does he take in hand?

What I find disturbing is that Scotland has a health sec not smart enough to avoid these charges.

[douglas9401]

Really? What I find disturbing is that his boss initially said the charges were all work related but our hero still felt the need to cough up the whole amount.

Some previously forgotten downloads may have come to mind but being non in law related Humza will simply move on proving yet again what a world class party he 'leads'.

Maybe his good friend Aamer Anwar has had some input in the interim, we shall see.

'Selfless politician' is like 'Compassionate Conservativism' - an oxymoron writ large.

[ToraToraTora]

Yeah but it doesn't take much to avoid roaming charges and then we'd not be having this conversation.

He only paid to avoid the Party inspecting his ipad - I wonder what's on it.

The article says it is a 'parliamentary iPad'.  If that's the case he can't refuse to hand it over - it's not his

//Now the newcomers are mostly from Asia, dusky skinned, with religions which seem strange to us//

That seems an awful lot of data, probably more like Ho Housewives vol 1 to 100.

We caught the HR director doing this once!

[douglas9401]

He's going down, just a question of how long it'll take.

At least he is paying the money back,other SNP heid-yins would just try to bluff their way out of paying up.
