MAKE MPS AND PEERS MAKE FULL DETAILED ONLINE DISCLOSURE OF EXPENSES
Since June 2006 it has been possible to view the expenses of Members of the Scottish Parliament online. There is no reason why the UK Parliament should not follow suit.
In order to help restore confidence in the UK Parliament and the conduct of MPs and Peers and the way in which they spend taxpayer's money, the Government is petitioned to introduce a Bill before Parliament to create and maintain Online Registers of MPs and Peers expenses similar to those provided by the Scottish Parliament and to provide for criminal sanctions for those members of Parliament who make dishonest or reckless claims for expenses and allowances.
The Online Register of Expenses shall be open to inspection without payment of any fee.
The Bill should also be so drafted as to give it primacy over the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
