Dear Editor, Bill Carmichael's reaction (13 June) to the Tory MEP sleaze scandal is to say "MEPs of all political stripes are all at it ". Not so. Labour MEPs have their spending of parliamentary allowances checked by indepenedent auditors every year. If the Conservatives had followed this example, they might have avoided the shame of seeing their leader and chief whip in the European Parliament resigning. Yours, Richard Corbett Labour MEP for Yorkshire & Humber
