As I promised, I will be publishing all my expenses (without anything blackened out!) every month - right here on this website. I invite you to return every month to look at what public money has been used and more importantly, how it has been used.

The four main categories of expenses are split into the following categories:

• staffing costs for the Westminster and Cannock Chase offices
• the costs of running the Cannock Chase office
• reasonable costs of running a home
• the cost of travel between Westminster and Cannock Chase for me and, where appropriate, my staff

David Cameron promised to abolish the £10,000 Communications Allowance which the former government introduced. Although I could theoretically claim this money now up until the law changes, I will claim ZERO Communications Allowance.

Please Note: The date contained in the short description is the date of processing by IPSA and so does not necessarily reflect the date the expense was incurred.

If you have any questions about expenses, IPSA or require further information, please contact our office on 01543 502 447.
