MPs' Expenses Debate: 100? MPs Present.
Harriet Harman has just set out the criteria for future administration etc of MPs' Expenses in the House of Commons and it appears like there are no more than about 100 "Honourable Members" present.
Is the size of the turnout a true demonstration of their contrition for their recently exposed misdemeanours?
Or just another example of their arrogance towards the electorate?

Gromit:
1 star for industry, but the fact is that given the national furore concerning their expenses scandal, still ongoing, they could have spared half and hour to hear what was to be implemented and, if necessary, had their say.
Too many chose not to and I'd take bets that hardly any were dealing with the matters you so diligently listed.
Their arrogance for the hand that feeds them remains undiluted.
