Here in Derby, the new MP for Derby North is Chris Williamson (Lab). He also stood in the local council elections and was returned as a councillor for his area. He has stated that he will carry on doing both jobs.
Being that Gordy Brown has already stated that MP's will be stopped from having two jobs, he seems to be at odds with his own party. Should he resign at least one of the positions?
I'm just concerned that he will claim travelling expenses (off the council), from London to Derby when he returns to attend council meetings, then will also claim expenses (from Parliament) to travel back to London for his parliamentary duties.
What do people on here think??
