We have published in full the expenses claimed by all our 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’.

David said:

“Politicians need to do everything they can to regain the trust of the British people, and transparency has a key part to play in that process. We must show that we’re spending taxpayers' money sensibly and correctly.”

And he stressed:

“We are the first party to demand this information from our members, and our MPs are voluntarily revealing a much more detailed breakdown of their expenses than official rules require them to. I’m glad that we’re leading the way."
