It appears that the payment of 'living expenses' due to a suspect in a childs disappearance being off work caused a lot of arguments yesterday mainly because a link was provided by a certain person. The link is above, it is not conjecture, it is a comment straight from the mouth of one of the fund managers. Hopefully the discussion on whether this is morally right or not, given the current position of the parents, can continue rather than mud slinging at other members of YA

I beleive the comment about just under £300,000 being spent, is the total amount spent and that a proportion of this is living expenses (I don't think it reads well) But it does say that they are spending some of it on living expenses, this point being shot down yesterday. Her parents whilst looking for her should be able to claim living expenses, I have no argument with that, but the clouding of the issue comes at the point where the parents were made suspects. Whether they are completely innocent or completely guilty, this does have to be an issue in relation to any money being used by them until this matter is cleared up.

Not wanting to get involved in any way, but I have to say that when you first read that, it appears to say that the 'living expenses' total is just under £300,000. On re-reading it, it states that just under £300,000 has been spent in total, and a portion of this was for living expenses.
A bit of editing and that could cause an uproar. easily mis-read. Do they deserve to be funded for living expenses? I don't know. Not my concern.
Nice post though, straightens out a few mis-conceptions.
I'll leave it at that before the mud-slinging begins. Have a good day.

if you read it in proper context, esther mcVey is actually giving you the total spent from the fund, not the mccanns living expenses.
I, at first, thought that the amount meant their expenses but it is a comment placed between paragraphs. it really does mean the total spent from the fund.

I'd like to see what constitutes their living expenses.
