MPs lose legal fight to keep expenses secret

By John Hirst

ADVERTISEMENTS

MPs lose legal fight to keep expenses secret

"The House of Commons has lost its High Court battle over an information watchdog's decision to force disclosure of MPs' expenses.

The Commons challenged the Information Tribunal's "unlawfully intrusive" demand that a detailed breakdown of MPs' additional costs allowances (ACA) must be provided under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Commons also attempted to overturn the Tribunal's decision that MPs' addresses should be disclosed, arguing they should be kept secret for special security reasons.

But today Sir Igor Judge (President of the Queen's Bench Division), Lord Justice Latham and Mr Justice Blake, ruled at London's High Court that they could not interfere with the Tribunal's decision and dismissed the challenge".

MPs must disclose expenses, high court rules

"The Commons Speaker, Michael Martin, today lost a high court battle to prevent the disclosure of the details of second-home expenses claimed by 14 prominent MPs".
