That is contradicted by e.g. the Gordon Brown section on 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8107922.stm
Perhaps he meant it was the Members Estimates Committee (some MPs) who 
set the rules for redaction? That is what 
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/18/mps-expenses-censorship-black-out
 
seems to say.

This all seems pretty fruitless to go on about, if the Telegraph are 
going to publish everything unredacted by Saturday, as 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5572160/Blackout-the-great-MPs-expenses-cover-up.html
 
says: "Many of these will be made available on the Telegraph website".
