MP’s Expenses

Asked if the Prime Minister was happy for taxpayer’s money to be spent on stopping the publication of MP’s expenses, the PMS replied that as we had always made clear, this was a matter for the House authorities. The Prime Minister had made clear that he was relaxed about the disclosure of his expense details, but this was a process being led by, and was a matter for the House authorities.

Asked if the Prime Minister was minded to unilaterally publish his expense details to show that he was relaxed, the PMS said it was the Prime Minister’s view that it was right that these matters were dealt with by the House authorities.

Asked how the Prime Minister felt about his address being published, the PMS said that of course there were security implications, but these were really matters for the House authorities. The PMS reiterated that the Prime Minister was relaxed about the disclosure of his expense details, but on issues of security, it was best that the experts on security were allowed to give their view.
