A senior London Labour MP backed further inquiries into growing claims over Rachel Reeves CV, time in banking and expenses claims.Mitcham and Morden MP Dame Siobhain McDonagh believes such further probing is inevitable after a BBC investigation claimed there was at least an initial inquiry into the expenses of Ms Reeves and two other staff when she worked for Halifax Bank of Scotland.“There is no point not wanting it because it’s going to happen,” Dame Siobhain told BBC Politics Live.But she added: “I have known Rachel Reeves for a very long time and I would say that she is one of the most hard-working, honest politicians I have ever met in a long career.”She stressed: “First of all we have to be sure about what happened with the expenses scandal.“As far as I’m aware she absolutely denies that she was approached by anybody about the expenses scandal.”
