MPs' expenses published

Good news to see that Conservative MPs taking a lead in Parliament and publishing their expenses yesterday.

I have always believed that it is important for there to be increased openness and transparency on MPs' expenses and allowances. It is tax payers' money and they have a right to know what it is being spent on.

The information published shows a list of staff, what they do, which family members are employed, office running costs and expenditure incurred whilst away from their main home.

Hopefully this will be a start to rebuilding trust in our politicians again.

Maybe Labour will now do the same..... including Ann Keen.
