Maria Miller told to resign over wrongly claimed expenses
Benefit-bashing minister claimed mortgage payments for home shared with parents
Benefits-bashing Tory Minister Maria Miller was branded a hypocrite and told to quit yesterday after being ordered to pay back thousands in wrongly claimed taxpayers’ cash.
Ms Miller claimed £90,000 in expenses for a mortgage on a London house she shares with her parents by designating it her second home.
Parliament’s standards committee told her to return £5,800 to the public purse and apologise.
