Publication policy
Our publication policy sets out how information on MPs' spending of public money will be published in accordance with the Scheme of MPs’ Staffing and Business Costs.
It supersedes all previous policy statements on the publication of MPs’ staffing and business costs.
We publish information about claims made by MPs under the Scheme in regular cycles.
Claims will not be published when parliament is dissolved or on a day when local, devolved assembly or parliamentary elections are being held.
We will also not publish information that police advise poses a risk to MPs’ security or to their staff or family.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires every public authority to have a publication policy approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office and to publish information covered by that policy.
