message: "Douglas Hogg" could also refer to the first Viscount. To prevent confusion, this page should be at Douglas Hogg, 3rd Viscount Hailsham. -- Emsworth 22:56, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Disambiguation

message: Another editor has removed a table showing Douglas Hoggs total expenses over the past few years on the basis that he claimed the maximum Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) each year and the table is therefore misleading. I disagree and believe that the table helpfully allows the reader to put the sums of money discussed elsewhere into context.
I don't want to get into any fights over this by simply reverting the previous edit and want the opinions of others. For information, here is the disputed edit: — GrahamSmith (talk) 14:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: My view is that this is the total MP Allowances (not personal expenses) including items like Staffing Allowance, Stationery and Staff Computer Equipment. Hogg claimed the maximum Additional Costs Allowance (recently in the news) every year since 2002 - "joint 1st" according to TheyWorkForYou - so listing total Allowances here as "expenses" confuses and does not in my opinion help understanding. In fact there is no single measure that can be simply tabulated that clearly compares MPs (eg given they all have different travelling distances). Best to simply point the interested reader at the full TheyWorkForYou table. Rwendland (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Others will know that, in an attempt to put Douglas Hogg's controversial Additional Costs Allowances (ACA) claims into context, I added a table showing the Total Expenses he had claimed using data from the independent TheyWorkForYou website. This was removed. After seeking comments via Talk:Douglas_Hogg I reinstated the table with a revised comment stating "Even though he claimed the maximum possible Additional Costs Allowance in five out of the seven years between 2001/02 and 2007/08, Douglas Hogg has consistently had one of the lowest total expenses claims." This revised edit has now been removed by what appears to be an unregistered user accessing Wikipedia from a BT Internet broadband account. I consider the table of total expenses meets WP:NPOV and also believe it helpfully puts the ACA claim into context; it should be allowed under WP:BLP as it is fair comment. — GrahamSmith (talk) 04:57, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: For ref, the the official description of the various MP Allowances is here. Only columns 1 and 2 of the main table, and the non-employee columns in the travel expenditure table, would match what in everyday use would be called "expenses". Rwendland (talk) 10:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
