Book excerpt: The complaint against the three Members, relating to adverts placed in newspapers prior to the Welsh Assembly elections, had four components: whether the advertisements contained inappropriate material; whether the use of party logos breached the Communication Allowance rules; whether the extent and method of circulation was appropriate as a method of reporting back to a constituency the activities of its Member of Parliament; and whether the week before the Welsh Assembly elections was appropriate timing for such a communication. The Committee find that the advertisements were a form of campaigning and should not have been paid for by the Communication Allowance and that this money should be repayed. In addition the Committee welcomes the fact that the Parliamentary Commissioner will in future consider what should be funded from Parliamentary allowances during the period of an election.
