Madam,
Patrick McLoughlin commented on being up and above board with the monies that he receives to run his constituency, but he will not say what he pays his wife who acts as his home secretary (Matlock Mercury, February 7).
Why would he be too embarrassed to tell the public, i.e the people who pay out the money through taxes?

If his wife has such a burden of a job she would probably like a job share with an ordinary secretary that gets paid a secretary's wages, then Patrick wouldn't feel too embarrassed to declare his wife's salary.

Mustapha Go,

Far from being worried about what an M.P. pays his wife...I'd be more inclined to worry about where the ever increasing amount of Council tax gets wasted each year.
D.D.D.C. is deeply in debt...D.C.C. goes on about reducing Carbon Footprints whilst continuing to floodlight it's facade throughout the winter evenings and illuminate it's vastly empty car park..which during office hours is full of cars driven by non car sharing scheme personnel, but the general tax paying public of the town are asked to fork out the annual tax hike and put up with ever decreasing services...
Start locally and weed the problem out first...use your votes at the local elections..if it doesn't work ..change it....
