Parliament publishes MPs' expenses

By Channel 4 News

Updated on 18 June 2009

The UK Parliament website publishes an edited version of MPs' expenses claims since 2005, as Gordon Brown sacks a Treasury minister for "flipping" her second home.

The appearance of the blacked-out (or "redacted") list on the UK Parliament website follows six weeks of revelations about MPs' expenses in the Daily Telegraph (to see the UK Parliament list, click here).

It comes the day after Kitty Ussher, a junior Treasury minister, was sacked by Gordon Brown ahead of revelations in today's Telegraph that she "flipped" the designation of her main home for one month in 2007 from her south London property to her constituency home in Burnley.

The move came ahead of the sale of her constituency home for £62,000 in March 2007.
