South West Conservative MEPs Julie Girling and Ashley Fox have congratulated Molly Scott-Cato of the Green Party for adopting a new approach to openness and transparency.
Both Mrs Girling and Mr Fox, who have been publishing their expenses and lobbying information online for the last 6 years, were delighted to hear the Greens are following their lead and adopting a similar position of transparency for constituents.
Commenting, Mrs Girling and Mr Fox said;
“The importance of transparency and openness in politics is essential and we are delighted the Green Party have finally adopted this position.
We have been publishing details of expenses online since 2009 and of lobby meetings since 2010 in a bid to increase transparency and for public scrutiny. We are delighted to see Molly has finally now taken a step towards greater transparency.”
