A Euro MP has challenged BNP leader Nick Griffin to make his expenses claims public.

Liberal Democrat Chris Davies, who represents the North West in the European Parliament, says that despite an allowance of £14,000 a month for the payment of staff, Mr Griffin lists only three employees, one of whom is part time and one of whom also works for Yorkshire MEP Andrew Brons.

Mr Griffin is the only one of the eight North West MEPs not to provide financial information at all on his website.

The Electoral Commission is currently investigating the BNP for a breach of regulations after its own auditor refused to sign off the 2008 accounts.
