Labour minister Al Carns claimed approximately £3,000 in parliamentary expenses approved by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority for 17 promotional videos showing him at local businesses, fire stations, and museums across his Birmingham constituency. Carns defended the spending as constituency engagement work in compliance with IPSA rules, while his office stated the videos were aimed at highlighting local organizations rather than personal promotion.
