Code of Conduct

MP's, AM's, PPC's and PAC's

The Welsh Liberal Democrats will at every opportunity seek to maximise value for public money and work with the utmost transparency.

It is to this end that I the undersigned Paul Brighton/ Bill Brereton will adhere to the following pledges.

• No Welsh Liberal Democrat MP/AM will be able to profit from selling their subsidized second homes. Any MP/AM already owning a second home will return any profits to the relevant Fees Office on the sale of the second home.

• I will not change my second or first residence (unless for significant family or ministerial reasons)

• I will not claim for furniture, household goods, non essential capital improvements, and cleaning or stamp duty.

• Any new MP/AM will be allowed a nominal setup cost for any second residence. Any expenditure will represent best value for public money and be published in full.

• I will claim for rent, ground rent, hotels, overnight subsistence (with receipts), mortgage interest, council tax, service charges, utility bills, telephone, line rental, insurance building & contents

• I will always aim to get the best value for public money on trips, property, overnight stays and any other expenses claimed.

• I will always be open with the tax authorities on any rental income received from my second home.

• Any couples married or otherwise will only claim for one second residence to the equivalent of one persons rental, mortgage and utilities allowance.

• I will regularly publish my own expenses in the interest of transparency.

Signed

Paul Brighton 19.2.10.

Bill Brereton 19.21.0.
