DO BRITISH MPs AND MEPs MAKE TAX AND EXPENSES DECLARATIONS ?


When one searches the Web it is almost impossible to find a reply to the two major questions which are;

    (1) Do MPs and MEPs make annual tax declarations of their earnings and of their deductible expenses ?

   (2)  Where can these declarations be consulted ?

Every time any questions are raised there is a complete black-out and no real information becomes available !!!  It gives the impression that all MPs would vote in block against any attempt to change the "System" !!! 

It would seem that the rules which are applied to normal taxpayers are not the same as those which govern MPs and MEPs and their obligation to make declarations.  Has the public no right to scrutinize these declarations ?

Yet, every now and then, someone is caught out !!!  The Scandal hits the Headlines !!!  However, are there not many others ?   What are the rules, where are they set out for the public to consult ?  Which Civil Servant, which Minister, is acknowleged as being responsible to check declarations ?
