BRITAIN-POLITICS-EXPENSES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY KATHERINE HADDON
(FILES) A combination of file photographs shows five British Cabinet Ministers who have resigned from former Labour Prime minister Gordon Brown's Cabinet last year (From L-R) Jacqui Smith, Hazel Blears, James Purnell, John Hutton and Geoff Hoon. Britain's newly-elected lawmakers face a huge battle to rebuild trust in "the mother of parliaments," after a scandal over greedy expense claims rocked the previous House of Commons.
Leaked documents last year revealed that members of parliament (MPs) had claimed public money for moat cleaning, tennis court repairs and dog food, prompting an outcry and even court action against a handful.
