A matter of timing
This morning's Western Mail revelation that Alun Cairns MP has taken his £29,000 resettlement grant from the Welsh Assembly despite having effectively been missing in action for the best part of 12 months and being able to draw on a substantially better MPs salary, must be quite embarrassing for the Welsh Conservatives.
Of course, if Alun had stood down in May 2010 when he was elected to Parliament and allowed the number two on the Tory list to take his seat instead, then he would not have been entitled to the grant at all.
Just saying.
