The MPs' expenses crisis was the biggest scandal to hit modern British politics. It did immense damage to people's faith in politics, parliament and MPs. As a parliamentary candidate, I pledged that if elected I would post details of my expense claims online, every month. I also promised I would not claim expenses without a receipt or invoice.

I'm delighted that on this part of the website I can keep to the promises I made and publish all my expense claims. I hope that this will help to start re-build trust in politics and parliament, and give people confidence in their new MP.

With best wishes,

Nick

May

I can confirm that no expense claims were submitted for the month of May, except for my blackberry which all MPs are supplied with. The bill was £40.74, of which I claimed £36.66 (I only claim 90% of the bill to allow for 10% personal calls).

Once staffing arrangments for the constituency and parliamentary offices have been completed a statement of total staff costs will be published.
