The majority of what Natascha's expenses are claimed to fund a fully staffed office in Eckington which is open 5 days a week and where she employs members of staff to ensure that constituents are able to have issues or problems dealt with as quickly as possible. She also employs staff in Westminster to ensure she is able to carry out her duties in Parliament.
The expenses system is currently being fully reviewed and an independent committee, not made up of Members of Parliament, will in future be setting MPs pay and allowances. You can see the submission Natascha made to the review by clicking here. A new system should be in place soon and Natascha believes that the recommendations of this committee should be implemented in time for the next General Election.
Natascha also believes that there should be more general reform of Parliament. You can see what Natascha has this matter by clicking here.
