A bob or two for the bobsleigh Lord

Mark Devenport | 15:12 UK time, Wednesday, 14 November 2007

I am indebted to our Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Wales Westminster Correspondent Aled Ap Dafydd for the information that the Conservatives Northern Ireland Spokesman in the House of Lords, Lord Glentoran, claims more in allowances and expenses than any other peer. In the financial year to March 2007 he claimed £85,000 despite only attending 125 days compared to some who sat in the Upper House for 146. It's not his first time leading the pack. As Robin Dixon, Lord Glentoran famously won a gold medal in the bobsleigh at the Winter Olympics in Innsbruck in 1964.
