Journalist Heather Brooke is this week taking on the House of Commons at the Information Tribunal in a case that could make details of MPs expenses available under the Freedom of Information Act.

Brooke wants access to “every single receipt and remittance” submitted by MPs, according to yesterday’s Scotland on Sunday.

Her case is being heard, coincidentally, just as MPs’ use of their parliamentary allowances are under an intense media spotlight because of the Conway scandal.
