Lose allowance ?
"A Labour MP faces being stripped of an £65,000 allowance for retiring MPs after a "serious" breach of the rules over his expenses claims.
Consequently, the report concludes that Mr Cohen received over £60,000 in public money "to which he was not entitled". "
Sounds like he allocated the allowance to himself a bit early. Save those civil servants the paperwork.

The diamond was picked up in tweezers, held over a Bunsen burner, then dropped in a flask of water where it fizzed about until it disappeared.
Quite a startling way to open a programme, especially at 4:30 on a Sunday morning.

Labour MP may lose pay-off over expenses
A Labour MP faces being stripped of an £65,000 allowance for retiring MPs after a "serious" breach of the rules over his expenses claims.
Harry Cohen, who is standing down at the election, is the first MP to be told he should lose the allowance since the expenses scandal began.
A report found the MP breached the rules on second home claims involving a "large sum of public money".
Mr Cohen has also been told that he must apologise to Parliament.Tags: None
