If I presume correctly, the councillor you allude to is a single parent.
Which must be a strain, when balancing home life, and public office.

The debate is, in my opinion, should the expenses be claimed when the 15 yr old is staying with friends, not official childcare, or stays at home alone, as 15 yr olds often do.
Does it matter who the councillor is? He holds high office and already claims enough allowances.
