I will always be open and honest and act with transparency and integrity as a Member of Parliament. I will publish my expenses on a quarterly basis as they are made available by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority and account for every penny of how your money is spent.”

"All that I ask in return is that my staff are treated at all times with courtesy."

"I respond promptly to every letter sent to me by my constituents. MPs receive thousands of letters, phonecalls, emails and visits every year, and I am no exception. We will send tens of thousands of letters and emails to constituents – and thousands more to the authorities, taking up their case!

I employ three members of staff to assist me in responding immediately to my constituent's letters, phonecalls and emails. My office at 31 Minto Street is on Edinburgh's busiest bus route and is staffed from 9am to 5pm every weekday. My professional staff are real progress-chasers. Other volunteers help with more routine tasks, and I am especially grateful for the tremendous work they do.

I have to travel from my home in Edinburgh to London whenever Parliament is sitting. Leaving after Monday's constituency advice session, I almost always return in time for my constituency advice session on Friday. This means around 50 round trips to Parliament a year by train or plane. I hold over 140 advice sessions every year, helping thousands of people."
