Since being elected I take my expenses incredibly seriously.

Since the expensives scandal prior to the 2015 General Election, the reputation of MPs were damaged and although I was not an MP at the time, it is the responsibility of us all to repair the reputation of all MPs and Parliament.

As the MP for Hazel Grove, I want to build that trust up over the course of this Parliament. I am therefore very careful about how I claim, following all of the IPSA guidlines and working with IPSA constantly whilst in Westminster.

I am also careful in documenting all of my claims to ensure I am completely open and transparent about my expenses.
