Watchdog to assess claims against pensions minister Paul Maynard
Paul Maynard is accused of using taxpayer money to fund Conservative Party work and campaigning.

It's another Tory obviously.
Claims that Pensions Minister Paul Maynard broke parliamentary rules by using taxpayer money to fund Conservative Party work and campaigning are to be assessed by a watchdog.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), which oversees MPs' expenses, told the BBC it would refer the claims to its compliance officer.
Mr Maynard said he believed he had the proper agreements in place.
But he told the Sunday Times he would abide by any Ipsa findings.
