The Pigs are getting more secretive.

clipped from www.independent.co.uk MPs refuse to disclose details of staff pay Almost 50 MPs have refused to tell the parliamentary authorities exactly what their office staff do and how much they are paid from public funds, it emerged yesterday. One in 13 MPs have failed to meet their obligation to submit copies of their employees' contracts of employment, which detail their working hours and salary scales. The failure to provide the details means that the House of Commons authorities have no idea whether the MPs are using their £90,000 staffing allowance properly – or if they are paying family members for work they have not done.

When pensioners have to declare every part of a penny so that they can get their paid for pensions, if a politician who is being paid out of pensioners savings cannot honestly declare their expenses, no messing about, slam them in Parkhurst.
