Political experts at the University of Sheffield will do their bit to restore the public's confidence in politicians. Sheffield's department of politics has been awarded a £100,000 research grant to study governance and reform in light of the recent MPs' expenses scandal.

The researchers will also aim to provide the Government with a "toolkit for change" to help them win over the public.
