Two SNP MPs are among a number of elected officials found to have charged their Amazon Prime subscriptions to the taxpayer in the last 18 months.
Angela Crawley, who serves as the SNP MP for Lanark and Hamilton East, and Steven Bonnar, SNP MP for Coatbridge, Chryston, and Bellshill, have claimed payments for the service back on expenses.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), which handles MPs’ expense claims, has previously stated Prime subscriptions can be within the rules, but “the MP will need to justify that the subscription is primarily used for parliamentary purposes at the time they submit the claim”.
