Interestingly, Durham North MP Kevan Jones has taken the step of handing over his expenses details to The Northern Echo today.
He takes the view that members of the public are entitled to know what he has claimed, so why wait for enforced publication?
The breakdowmn will be published in tomorrow's paper.
It seems to me that other MPs should follow suit if they believe have nothing to hide.
Complete transparency is the only way to avoid the unfairness of all MPs being tarred with the same brush.
