Alan’s expenses

The Conservative Party has published in full the expenses claimed by all Conservative Front Bench MPs for the last three months.

This comes as part of David Cameron's continued efforts to bring greater openness to the issue of MPs' expenses and allowances.

In February, David announced plans to bring transparency to the system of MPs' expenses by asking Conservative MPs to detail their expenditure in 'Right To Know' forms.

The information published includes a comprehensive list of staff and their positions, an indication of any family members employed, and a breakdown of office running costs and expenditure from 'staying away from main home'.
