Betsygate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Betsygate was a minor political scandal in the United Kingdom while Iain Duncan Smith was leader of the Conservative Party. The scandal was over the level of pay that Iain Duncan Smith’s wife Betsy Duncan Smith enjoyed as her husband’s diary secretary.
A report from a Parliamentary watchdog cleared her of any wrong doing. While the Commons standards committee argued that the arrangements “were not ideal” it stated that no rules had been broken.
