Ford To Publish Tax Returns
Alliance Leader David Ford has confirmed he will release his tax returns and said other parties should follow Alliance's lead.
The South Antrim Assembly candidate said while he had nothing to hide in his finances, transparency was vital to regain public trust in politics.
He said: "I am happy to release all information on my tax returns and will be speaking to my accountant to do so as quickly as possible. However, I can go better now and detail my income fully - it is derived solely from my work as an MLA and Minister, plus a small amount of interest from a building society savings account, minus the interest I pay on the mortgage on a small family farm. My entry on the Assembly Register of Members' Interests is entirely accurate."
