Katy Waring in the Brussel's Office of Liberal Democrat, Fiona Hall, has now confirmed that it is not possible to supply an MEP's voting record.
The European Parliament will also not take responsibility for publishing the full record.
Conservative Central Office agreed that it was not unreasonable for a constituent to want to know. Conservative MEP, Martin Callanan has so far failed to respond to any request.
Labour MEP, Stephen Hughes says that he is accountable to the North East electorate and it is his constituents' position to hold him to account. This seemingly does not extend to his voting record which he could not provide and suggests if we are not happy then the European Parliament should take the responsibility of providing it.
Accountability and transparency are fundamental in a democracy.
Put your MEP under pressure and ask the question. With such a generous secretarial allowance there is no excuse for not taking the initiative and creating a full record.
