Ivor Caplin Biography

Ivor Caplin is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on November 8, 1958 in Brighton, Brighton, United Kingdom. Ivor Keith Caplin (born 8 November 1958) is a British Labour Party politician. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Hove from 1997 until 2005.

In 2010 Sir Thomas Legg conducted an independent audit of MPs expenses in which he determined that Caplin should repay £17,865 representing mortgage interest payments claimed on his second home, after Caplin failed to provide paperwork to establish his entitlement to claim the money. Caplin appealed, explaining that Legg’s letters had gone to an old address and had not been forwarded. On 1 April 2011 his appeal was upheld and the amount of repayment reduced to £1,178.43 (which Caplin had overclaimed due to interest rate fluctuations of which he was unaware); Caplin accepted the finding and agreed to repay the money.

Caplin now runs his own company Ivor Caplin Consultancy Ltd. which has a number of clients including Foresight Communications, a political lobbying firm whose clients include EADS, EDS and Sodexho.
