Prescott tells the Commons he will not save the taxpayers money

In response to a question about what steps he was taking to reduce his bloated expenditure, John Prescott has told the Commons that he is not attempting to spend less of the taxpayers money. Presumably he is under the delusion that his utterly non-job is value for money.

Since his demotion he has cost the taxpayer at least £1 million, and all he has managed to do is answer question in Parliament less than 10 times, and chair very few committee meetings. He;s also had a nice jolly to South-East Asia of course.
