to think that if you pay your cleaner

[ConferencePear]

£22 per week in central London, you might suspect that she is an illegal immigrant ?

Depends. If she only does 2 hours and you provide all the equipment and cleaning materials then it is not a bad wage.

depends on the hours.

If this is the cleaner I think you are talking about, she apparently got £30 per week for four hours of work which included some ironing.

But only £22 per week of it was claimed on his expenses. He might not have been the only MP employing her either.
