MEPS' EXPENSES
David Cameron yesterday set out proposals to "deep clean" the system of MEPs’ expenses.
From September, all Conservative MEPs will follow a Code of Conduct similar to the one already in place for Conservative MPs:
- Expenses must be published in 'Right to know' forms- The use of service companies will be outlawed- Details of any family members employed must be published
David promised these measures would introduce "more detail, more transparency and more honesty" to the system of expenses, and urged other political parties to follow suit.
Find out more about the measures

TACKLING KNIFE CRIME
On Monday, David Cameron launched an action plan to deal with the growing problem of knife crime.
The plan contains a number of short-term measures to toughen up policing and sentencing, and a number of longer-term proposals to strengthen families and deal with the causes of crime.
David stressed, "While our society is broken today, it is not broken for ever. We can and will repair it."
