New Labour sleaze?

The Times reports the that:

"THE House of Commons has shredded more than 1m documents detailing expenses claims by MPs that were due to be revealed to the public.

The Commons authorities said last week they had destroyed all documents for MPs up to April 2004, even though official guidelines state that such records should be kept for six years.

Martin Bell, who was elected as an independent MP on an antisleaze platform in 1997, said: “I think it is likely that some racketeering by some MPs has been so outrageous that, if it was revealed, they would be under pressure to resign.”"

I wonder what Labour MP's were there making sure that their files were run through the machine and turned into thin strips of paper. Maybe it would be better to ask what Labour MP's were not there and who could claim to have a clear record with regards that, not a one I suspect...
