Rosie Sharpley Rosie welcomes the report on new expenses rules for MPs.

If elected Rosie had always intended to continue to live full time in Woking and has absolutely no intention of having a second home in London. She is well used to commuting up to Town, having worked shift work at The Royal London Hospital, while living in Goldsworth Park. Rosie also has no intention of employing Family members in any capacity.

Commenting on the new expenses rules announced by Sir Ian Kennedy's Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), David Heath said

"I welcome what Ipsa has published today. They've worked very hard to get a workable scheme up and available for the start of the new Parliament.

"Nick Clegg was the only party leader who suggested a year ago that MPs should be taken out of the property game altogether, and I'm glad this has been taken up.

"I hope the proposals will now be put in place and we can start the new Parliament with much greater public confidence in a system that is transparent and fair."
