From this morning’s Metro:
Plans to almost triple the mileage allowance of MPs who cycle to the Commons from 7p to 20p ran into trouble yesterday. Tory Boris Johnson said he was in favour of encouraging cycling - but not at taxpayers’ expense. Conservative Ann Widdecombe said if 20p a mile was given to cyclists, what about MPs who arrived on roller skates. Sir Teddy Taylor, also a Tory, said he will charge for walking to work. MPs have yet to vote on the issue.
