Perhaps Mr D wanted a freebie holiday to Rio then? Sorry but once again it sould have been above his pay grade. He would have however still claimed his food allowance for the trip to Rio if he had been accepted as he claimed it every other time he went out for a day or two from parliament. Surely one or 5 of his members of staff could have found out the answer once again to a pathetic question.
IS THIS THE LAST RIDICULOUS TAX WASTING QUESTION TO WHICH I SHALL EVER HAVE TO REPLY I WONDER???? I Would say PLEASE GOD but I know there aint one so won't bother.
Just try to work out Dai the good that could have been done in my community if the money you so pathetically wasted on these questions had been used for some good community project? Just think when you go to chapel next sunday and pray for redemption.
Then let everybody know what good you have done for this constituency since you were elected??? Answer the odd letter in the Gazette would be a first so give it a go.
