No, that's been the trouble, and the cause of all the recent scandals, and the resulting public anger.
The majority of our politicans fought tooth and nail to block any moves for greater transparency, when there were attempts made for their expenses to be fully public.
It was only when they were leaked to the press and published that many of the abuses came to light.
The Public Prosecution Service are currently considering if a number of politicans (from both the Commons and the Lords) are to be charged with fraud.
