Make full disclosure of MP's expenses compulsory

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

All expenses are paid with taxpayers,therefore they have the right to see annual details of each MP's claim.

Past records show that taxpayers money used to pay expenses is abused by some MPs,requiring publication in detail will help to stop abuse and also let the public see what their money is used to fund.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
