Gordon Brown: ''I want to apologise on behalf of politicians and all parties''
Gordon Brown has said "mistakes" were made by MPs in their use of House of Commons expenses.
The prime minister apologised on behalf of all political parties for some of the claims made and said public trust must be restored "immediately".
This follows revelations that leading MPs have entered invoices for items including dog food and a lawnmower.
Commons Speaker Michael Martin said "serious change" was needed and that the "spirit" of rules must be followed.
An independent body auditing expenses claims would be set up "very soon", he added. [more]
