Freedom of Information campaigner Heather Brooke has criticised the censorship of key details of MPs' expenses claims by the government.

She told the BBC that the official publication was a "substandard version".

She said "avoiding embarrassment has been the motivating factor", not concern over privacy and security, after large sections of the papers were blacked out.
