This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition I want all MP's to disclose their expenses every year to the public sector.
The bill for politicians is now nearly as high as it was before the 2009 MPs' expensesscandal, with claims of almost £100m last year, official figures show.
The total cost of travel, accommodation and running the offices of MPs rose by 10%, taking it close to the record for claims.

The expenses scandal of that year sparked outrage as some politicians claimed for trivial items and played the system to get taxpayer cash for furnishing two homes
