More on MPs' Expenses

Along with over 100 fellow Labour parliamentary candidates I have signed up to these ethics pledges that Progress, a network of Labour party progressives, has put together. I support them and pledge to observe them both as a candidate and, if elected, as Putney?s MP.

However, along with many of the signatories, I think we need to go further if we are to restore a degree of confidence between voters and their political representatives. I intend to return to this issue and will be following ? and participating in ?the emerging debate on how parliament must be reformed.
