Motion Text
That this House welcomes President Obama's inaugural speech statement that those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government; and endorses this principle in making our democracy open and transparent not least with respect to hon. Members and their expenses.
