Home Secretary asked to explain herself

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is finding that the row over her "second home" expenses claim is simply not going away. And why should it!

Complaints from neighbours has prompted Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, John Lyon, to accept a complaint against Ms Smith. The complaint being that she doesn't spend as much time in her "first chocie" home as she is claiming.

All I can say is that she must have really anoyed the nieghbours for them to turn on her so quickly.
