Ημερομηνία προβολής: Σεπ 28, 2009

Alex Thomson investigates how MPs have spent their 82-day summer recess, and what is expected of them during this time. With publicly funded trips jetting off all around the globe, who are the frequent fliers and how accountable are these visits? Dispatches travels around the world in 82 days to look at what is on offer during the summer break and how open and transparent our elected representatives really are. Thomson examines whether taxpayers are getting value for their money from their elected representatives, with politicians desperate to regain trust after the expenses scandal in May 2009.
