THE Council is considering whether to publish members' expenses on the internet in light of the scandal surrounding MPs expenses.
A report by the council's standards committee said the authority was weighing up the move because of the public's increased interest in ethics in public life.
Numerous politicians, including Leyton MP Harry Cohen, have been criticised for excessive expenses claims.
Mr Cohen has announced he will quit parliament because of the “intolerable stress” allegations have placed on his family.
