Morning Extra: Has the witch-hunt over MPs' expenses gone too far?

Has the witch-hunt over MPs' expenses gone too far?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Has the witch-hunt over MPs' expenses gone too far?

MPs who followed the rules are now being told their claims were unjustified; is that fair?

Many MPs who followed the rules on expenses are now being told their claims were unjustified; Graham Stewart asks if that's fair.

As they return to the Commons this week after their summer break, hundreds of MPs are due to receive letters from the auditor appointed to investigate expense claims over the past five years. They're being told to hand back money or face the consequences. Many are angry because they followed the rules, their claims were approved and now they're being told to repay because some of those claims are now seen as unjustified. Is this unfair? Or are our MPs out-of-touch with public opinion?
