Green Party MPs reveal their expenses

The Green Party has opened the books on the travel and accommodation bills incurred by its MPs this year.

The figures reveal the party's nine MPs have spent between $4,000 and $19,000 each on travel, while its out of town MPs spent $1,200 to $2,000 each on accommodation.

Dunedin based co-leader Metiria Turei has the highest bill at $18,968 while Wellington based Sue Kedgley has racked up just $4,593.

Ms Turei hopes other parties follow their lead and disclose their expenses. Broader disclosure is also a possibility.

Parliament's Speaker Lockwood Smith has released the details of a special cross party meeting.

He says the committee is conscious of the public interest and has agreed to develop a disclosure regime to release information about expenses incurred by MPs.
