THE Scottish Parliament was at the centre of a new expenses row yesterday after spending £50,000 on kitting out the Holyrood building with brand new tables and chairs.
A total of 158 new chairs and 40 tables have been bought by the parliament for £45,265 – increasing to just over £52,000 once tax is added.
Most will be placed in the public café, the waiting area in the main entrance and outside the members’ restaurant.
Fifty-two black tub seats and 13 tables that have been purchased for the garden lobby cost almost £17,000 alone.
