By Simon Walters PUBLISHED: 18:09 EST, 21 July 2012 | UPDATED: 18:09 EST, 21 July 2012 Commons Speaker John Bercow charged taxpayers £624 to have his chauffeur rush him to Devon for a ‘dirty weekend’ with wife Sally before she entered Celebrity Big Brother. His official limo picked him up at Westminster and drove him 224 miles to his favourite seaside resort, Woolacombe, where his wife and family were staying last August. Mrs Bercow has confessed that while there she used sex to persuade her husband to drop his opposition to her appearing on the Channel 5 reality programme.
