UKIP Leader challenged to publish his expenses.

Edward Davey is writing to UKIP Leader Nigel Farage challenging him to publish his MEPs' expense claims and to account for their shameful record of voting for perks and secrecy in the European Parliament.
When Nigel Farage first went to Brussels, he promised to publish his accounts annually 'so the public can inspect them', but since then neither he nor his UKIP colleagues have done so.
In addition, two of the 12 UKIP MEPs elected in 2004 have since faced criminal charges for falsely claiming benefits, false accounting and money laundering. UKIP has also voted against a cap on MEPs' earnings, reforms to make travel expenses more transparent, and have backed laws aimed at keeping their expenses secret.
