A report published by the UK Parliament has revealed that Welsh Members of Parliament have claimed thousands of pounds to learn foreign languages.
Stephen Crabb MP, who serves as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Preseli Pembrokeshire, and Nia Griffiith MP, who serves as the Labour Member of Parliament for Llanelli, have respectively spent over £2,000 on learning languages.
Since 2001, the House of Commons has approved funding to allow Members of Parliament to receive training, which is "in accordance with their parliamentary duties". This training includes learning a new language or developing existing skills.
