The ongoing expenses scandal involving many Westminster MPs has justifiably angered people the length and breadth of the country.
I welcome the involvement of the police and hope that charges follow against those who have broken the law.
Recently I took part in a meeting of all Westminster Party leaders, where I proposed that the same high standards of transparency currently used at the Scottish Parliament must be introduced in the House of Commons. This was accepted by the other leaders, together with a package of measures that will stop the abuses we have learned about in media reports. Past claims will be independently assessed and groundbreaking agreement was also reached to end self-regulation of MPs.
I regret that this did not happen years ago, however in the past there was not a Parliamentary majority for reform.
The record will show that no SNP MP (myself included) ‘flipped’ their second homes for private gain, charged for mortgages that were paid off, avoided tax or claimed for moats, duck houses or chandeliers.
Below you will find my detailed expense ‘Additional Cost Allowance’ (ACA) claims. They cover the cost of a second home and subsistence in London:
ACA 0708
ACA 0607
ACA 0506
ACA 0405
The information that has been blacked out is that relates to personal information such as credit card/debit card numbers, addresses and telephone numbers, or names of staff members or companies. This was necessary in order to safeguard the privacy of others and fulfill obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998. |
