HARROGATE, England, May 11 (UPI) -- British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says he's sorry for "mistakes" made by members of Parliament who have claimed reimbursement for personal expenses.
Revelations that lawmakers of both parties sought taxpayer money for such expenses as mock Tudor beams, dog food and a lawnmower have resulted in embarrassment for Brown and the Labor Party government. Brown Monday offered an apology for the claims, The Times of London reported.
