Leader of Britain's, Conservative opposition party David Cameron speaking to the media in London, Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Cameron, banned members of his party Tuesday from filing expense claims for food and household items amid public outrage after lawmakers sought reimbursements for items such as swimming pool construction and tennis court upkeep.
