/// However, under that same set of guidelines, the pay, discipline and sickness records of Commons staff are kept until their 100th birthday. Health and safety records are kept for up to 40 years, while thousands of other classes of official documents on the day-to-day running of the House are stored indefinitely in the Parliamentary Archive. ///
Why are expense records treated differently?

Members of the public who have written to Kathryn Hudson, the standards watchdog, to raise concerns about their MP’s claims have been told there can be no investigation due to lack of evidence. //
I wonder if a criminal offence has taken place here. Some MPs were guilty of criminal activity. Deliberately destoying evidence is obsteucting the police.
It should certainly be a sackable offence. The last speaker was got rid of and did far less damage than Bertcow.

Speaker Bercow may well face some heat over this, but since it is in the interests of a lot of MP's that this destruction of records draws a line under their appalling behaviour, then the heat is likley to be tepid and shortlived.
As you say AOG - how very convenient - rarely have you spoken a truer word.
