FOLLOWING the publication of AMs allowances for 2008-2009, Neath AM Gwenda Thomas has decided to publish her expenses on her website. Hard copies will also be available for public scrutiny at her constituency office.
"I have always felt that as elected representatives we are fully accountable to the people that we serve," she said.
"In the interests of accountability and transparency, I have taken the decision to publish my expenditure for 2008-2009 and in future I will publish my expenses on a monthly basis on my website"
