Foreign trips
Friday, 20 January 2006
PassportThere has been a lot of coverage concerning Lord Provost Liz Cameron's expenses of £60,000. While she correctly stated that the trips had been approved in advance, councillors were usually not aware of the full costs when they gave approval. They might well have had second thoughts if they had been told the full costs.

The SNP has repeatedly called for the full costs to be shown when trips are approved. (This applies to all Labour councillors going on jaunts, not just the Lord Provost.) However, very often only the basic conference fee is disclosed, while the main cost is actually travel, hotel expenses, etc. We do believe that the Lord Provost has a duty to represent Glasgow overseas but this needs to be done in the most cost effective way possible.
