Putting Trust Back into MPs expenses
Ever since the details of MP’s expenses were first published, people have been furious about the excessive, unacceptable and possibly illegal claims made by some of the people we send to represent us in the House of Commons.
As the local Conservative candidate in the next General Election, I want to make it clear to you that I will not play the system. I will not bend the rules. I will not break the law. Instead, I will abide by the standards that politicians expect others to live by. I will stick to the strict rules set out below.
I want you to treat this as a contract between us. If I’m elected as your Member of Parliament in the general election. If I break any one of these rules, you should vote me out when you get the chance.
MP’s Expenses: my contract with you
I Graham Evans, the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Weaver Vale, promise to:
þ Publish on my personal website details of all of my expenses incurred as your Member of Parliament;
þ Publish on my personal website details of all of my office expenses incurred as your Member of Parliament;
þ Appoint a local firm of auditors to approve my expenses accounts at the end of every financial year;
þ Open up my unedited expenses claims to local newspapers at the end of every financial year;
þ Never claim for dry cleaning, laundry and ironing.
þ Never Claim for “house hold sundries”.
þ Never claim for furniture or household goods; and Meet my own tax liabilities – such as stamp duty – without claiming them from the taxpayer
