Smith 'frozen rather than angry' about porn expenses

Smith 'frozen rather than angry' about porn expenses: "Jacqui Smith has revealed she felt 'frozen rather than angry' when told her husband had entered a parliamentary expenses claim for pornographic films.

The former Labour home secretary told Radio Times she felt 'protective' towards Richard Timney, despite the episode ending her political career.

Ms Smith said she had not gone 'through the expense form closely enough'.

She also told the BBC she was 'worried' about the availability of porn on the internet and the lack of restrictions.

Ms Smith, one of the first MPs to have their expenses claims published by the Daily Telegraph in 2009, has carried out an investigation of the pornography trade for BBC Radio 5 live"
