Park Life 71 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ms Smith apologised and promised to pay back money after admitting she "mistakenly" claimed for the television package while submitting a bill for her internet connection. The £67 bill was submitted last June as part of Ms Smith's expenses, it was claimed. Jacqui Smith claimed allowance 'for living with sister' Must we really subsidise adult films for Jacqui Smith's husband? Gordon Brown's G20: is it too late to call the whole thing off? Reports said the Virgin Media bill included two 18-rated features which each cost £5 which were viewed on April 1 and April 6 last year. The bill was also said to include two viewings of the film Ocean's 13 – at £3.75 each – and an additional £3.50 to watch the film Surf's Up. The television bill is reported to be for her family's Redditch, Worcs, home. Sources told the Sunday Express she was not at home at that time . In a statement, Ms Smith said: "I am sorry that in claiming for my internet connection, I mistakenly claimed for a television package alongside it. "As soon as the matter was brought to my attention, I took immediate steps to contact the relevant parliamentary authorities and rectify the situation. Disgrace.
