Background
Firstly, the acceptance of gifts risks influencing the opinions and decision making of elected officials or those who have financial control of tax payer funding.
Secondly, MP’s, Lords and public servants should all feel the same financially pressures as those they represent. It is simply outrageous that people in such a privileged position seem fit to accept such gifts under the noses of those they were elected to represent.
