£1.4m for the pot
Euro MPs’ huge rise for hot drinks kitty
Written by Peter Allen for DailyRecord
EURO MPs have voted to bump up their tea and coffee kitty to an astonishing £1.4million. It works out at more than £2200 for each of the 626 members of the European Parliament.
The 11 per cent rise was agreed after the money allocated for hot drinks this year - all paid for by taxpayers across Europe - ran out.
Extra money has now been allocated by the parliament’s budget committee, following a “sudden surge” in demand.
