M.P. Pay + what other untold payments they receive, Car /Petrol allowance should all this be open to the public?

[stokemaveric]

yes........

[naomi24]

Yes.

[Psybbo]

Yes

[stokemaveric]

they should be MADE to disclose every last penny they recieve..y people are means tested in this counry so why shouldnt they be made to disclose everything?

[craft1948]

What difference will it make?

[naomi24]

No business pays expenses to its staff without receipts being provided and details entered into the accounts – and the same should apply to the government.

[craft1948]

Why should they disclose everything................I'm only concerned that they only claim legitimate expenses.

[naomi24]

They should disclose everything because they are not spending their own money - they're spending ours - and if they don't provide receipts there is no way of knowing whether or not the expenses they are claiming are legitimate.

You vote them in......if you want to know the perks join a party yourself.

[stokemaveric]

like claiming for a duck house on a moat craft???....lol

[craft1948]

So do you think everyone at the BBC should disclose their expenses, after all we pay their wages?

[naomi24]

Tamborine, it's not 'a party'. Whatever party is in government, the same rules apply.

[craft1948]

Stoke I thought that claim showed class...................much better than John Prescotts pasties.

[naomi24]

Yes, Craft. If we are paying, we are entitled to know where our money is spent.

[Psybbo]

Yes craft BBC and all other public funded...

[craft1948]

But surely Naomi, on that line of thinking, we should know everybody's pay and expenses, as in one way or another, we pay virtually everyones wages.

I voted them in! you must be bloody joking, this lot are means testing to make sure we do not get too much, so what's the difference? I have to disclose everything on my tax return, do they?

[craft1948]

Well apparently Boris did.................but perhaps Red Ken didn't.

Theres a big difference between the BBC & the Government Craft.
