Wiki.
On Expenses is a 2010 British television film directed by Simon Cellan Jones and starring Anna Maxwell Martin as Heather Brooke and Brian Cox as Michael Martin.
The film documents the true story of journalist Heather Brooke's attempt to get expenses claims of Members of Parliament released under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Speaker Michael Martin's battle to prevent it. Brooks herself had a non-speaking cameo in the film as a female MP in the scene where Martin assumes the position of Speaker.
