I think this is called shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. . . .

Press Gazette via PA Mediapoint reports today: "Preparations for the long-awaited official release of MPs' expenses receipts are "nearing completion", Commons officials said today.
Liberal Democrat Nick Harvey, answering a parliamentary question on behalf of the ruling Commons Commission, said publication will take place "as soon as possible" after MPs seeking to have details of claims excluded from public disclosure have had appeals heard next week.
The release of the receipts follows a lengthy Freedom of Information legal battle and the unauthorised leaking of the details to the Daily Telegraph."
