Will the Tories vote against extra Allowances for themselves?

I will in the next month start costing Tory budget proposals. In the absence of any Tory budget, we currently have to assume that they will raise again the Council's media department even though the Lib Dems are likely to cut costs here.

The other area is allowances and the Lib Dems are again likely to propose cutting costs.
However I suspect the Lib Dems will announce that they are sacrifising some of their SRA allowances and offering two options:

1. The money to be added to the budget reductions

2. The money to be offered to the Tory Group with extra money proposed for the Tory Deputy Leader.

As the Libs Dems are likely to ensure there is a separate vote on this issue, it should be entertaining watching Peter Geiringer voting down his own substantial allowance increase, bearing in mind he always supported his post getting extra money!!
