All MPs' claims may be published
Written: 14th March, 2008
Detailed expenses claims of all MPs dating back to 2004 look set to be published, the BBC has learned.
Most MPs can claim up to £23,000 a year towards the cost of a second home using the additional costs allowance (ACA).
The Commons has been ordered to publish details of 14 MPs' claims under Freedom of Information laws. Sources say all claims may be published by December.
Earlier it published a list of maximum prices allowed per item under the ACA, including £10,000 for a new kitchen.
The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said its publication had been the latest embarrassment in the continuing row over MPs' expenses and many MPs had told him they were being made to feel like "crooks".
