Well, it appears not. Harriet Harman has decided that the receipts that MP's submit should not be in the public domain (even thought they are spending mine and your money). The Labour party is whipping hard to get the vote through on Thursday to allow this to happen and equally, there are many who are working to prevent this from happening.

If, like me, you believe that MP's should be open about their expenses then can I suggest you join the 'They Work For you' campaign to put pressure on MP's.

UPDATE: Gordon Brown is to order Labour MPs to back a controversial plan to exempt details of MPs' expenses from the Freedom of Information Act. See HERE
