ABSTRACT
Introduction ‘[ Telegraph journalist Holly] Watt had set up a spreadsheet which listed MPs’ names, the addresses of properties on which they had claimed, whether each was rented or mortgaged, and notes of other points about their claims. By the middle of the second week . . . she had a potential breakthrough. As she typed in the address of the second home of Ian Cawsey, an obscure Labour MP, a box popped up on her screen with the rest of the address. This ‘auto-complete’ function meant she had already typed in the address for another MP.
