Expenses review for anti-poverty group
An anti-poverty organisation is under review amid reports that it ran up lavish expenses claims.
A national newspaper claimed executives at the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) stayed in luxury hotels and dined at some of London’s finest restaurants at the taxpayers’ expense. One bill for dinner for CDC non-executive directors at the Michelin-starred L’Autre Pied restaurant came to 700, according to documents obtained by the paper.
