A false claim that British members of parliament can expense £50 for breakfast has circulated on social media.
“There is no breakfast allowance for MPs,” a spokesperson for IPSA told Reuters in an email.
“The only time MPs can claim for their own meals is if they are travelling away from both workplaces (London and constituency) on parliamentary business,” they added.
The rules in full can be found on IPSA’s website, which links to The Scheme of MPs’ Staffing and Business Costs 2023-2024.
