Just one MLA reimburses Stormont for cost of travelling to Queen's lying in state

Only one MLA reimbursed Stormont for the cost of going to London to see the Queen lying in state.

Almost £15,000 was spent by the Assembly on travel and accommodation for 27 MLAs and six staff to see the monarch's coffin last month inside Westminster Hall ahead of her state funeral.

Some 17 MLAs were granted special access which meant they did not have to join the miles-long queue faced by members of the public, according to fresh details provided by the Assembly.
