'Malik claimed over 1,000 pounds too much for council tax'
Britain's Pakistani-origin Communities Minister Shahid Malik has claimed more than 1,000 pounds too much for council tax on his second home expenses, a report said on Tuesday.
Duncan Hodgkins, from Marleigh Road, said the council was ``a law unto themselves'' after its members decided to increase this year's precept -- which forms a part of the overall council tax bill -- by £2,500.
