NORTH Dorset MP Bob Walter is to use his constituency surgeries as a forum to answer voters’ concerns over his expense claims.

Mr Walter was the first of the county’s MPs to publish his expenses, setting up a website which lists the claims he made between 2004 and 2008.

The MP’s next constituency meeting is at his office at The Stables at Blandford’s Whitecliff Mill Gardens on June 5 at 4pm.

Mr Walter is also hosting a public meeting at 7pm today at the offices of Blandford Town Council.
