Rejected petition MP Jim McGovern's to be made to pay £27000 legal costs burdened on the taxpayers

More details

Labour’s Jim McGovern failed attempt at reversing the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority's decision in rejecting a bogus claim at a judicial tribunal for a measly £23.90 train fare and leaving the taxpayers to pick up a £27000 legal bill must not be tolerated.

The necessary adjustment has to be made to the tribunal judgement passed on this case by the judiciary to ensure the legal costs of the IPSA are met by Jim McGovern MP.
