British MP Expenses Go Online

(18 June 09 - RV) British MP’s expenses have gone online. Copies of claims, and about 2 million receipts, were posted on the Internet today following a four-year legal battle by information campaigners.
Professor Steven Fielding is Director of the Centre for British Politics at Nottingham University in the UK. He told Lydia O’Kane that the fact that online allowances have been edited will arouse suspicions and that information on expenses has been sought for a long time.
