Mid Scotland & Fife Regional List Result 2007

'Henry McLeish first took control of the offices in Hanover Court, Glenrothes, shortly after he was elected to Westminster as an MP in 1987. The offices, Mr McLeish said, were far too big and so he decided to sublet the first floor. But crucially, he forgot to declare the income from the sub lets when he claimed his office expenses from Westminster.'
Miranda Hurst in BBC Scotland News, 8 th November 2001.
