Urgent Message: MP's expenses
Clive has been shocked and outraged by some of the media revelations about MP's expenses. Clive does not have a second home and has never made any claim for expenses to do with his home here in Eltham.
Clive has now published on his website every expense claim with receipt he has made over the last four years. "This information will be provided by the House of Commons in a couple of months time, but MPs need to be as transparent as possible so I wanted to get it online so that constituents can access it as soon as possible", explains Clive.
To see Clive's views on the expenses scandal and to see details of his claims for the last four years, click here.
He has also provided links to the House of Commons website page that gives the the overall sums of money that he is allocated by Parliament to cover the cost of his travel and to run his constituency office. Clive receives no allowances or expenses for a second home.

Biography
It is a great honour to be a Member of Parliament and in particular to represent the area in which I live with my family. As a local resident I share the same concerns as other people living in the constituency.
Pre Budget Report
During these difficult financial times it is important that people know that their MP and their government is doing everything possible to help see the country through the problems it faces and to help those who are affected by the global financial crisis. That is why I have prepared briefings on the Chancellor’s Pre Budget Report.
The Queen’s Speech.
The Queen's Speech set out the programme of government legislation for the next Parliamentary session. It included vital Bills to improve our banking system and to help the country come through the current financial difficulties stronger and fairer.
Homeowner Support Scheme
The number of repossessions is rising although the numbers affected remain small. The new government-backed Homeowner Support Scheme will provide help for those at risk of repossession.
Surgeries
I try to be as accessible as possible. I hold eight surgeries each month. My regular
walkabouts bring together residents with council officers, the police and others to find on-the-spot solutions to local problems.
What's On
I have now added a What's On page which I hope will become a real community hub. If you know of any event, no matter how big or small that you want advertised on this page then please let me know the details and I will include it.
Most of all I hope that you use it to let me know what you think.
