Details of all expense claims put in by the Bradford district’s five MPs have revealed they claimed a combined £88,500 to run their second homes.

The Commons authority have released the 2008/9 additional cost allowance – the part of MPs’ expenses which allows them to run a second property in London.

The ACA caused much controversy this year after abuses of the system were uncovered, including MPs claiming for phantom mortgages, tens of thousands of pounds on interior designers and a £6,000 television.

MPs could claim a maximum of £24,006 in 2008/9 to run their London home.

Bradford North MP Terry Rooney claimed £10,774, Bradford West MP Marsha Singh £19,236 and Bradford South MP Gerry Sutcliffe £15,079.

Shipley MP Philip Davies claimed £23,886 and Keighley MP Ann Cryer claimed £19,620. Mr Davies and Mrs Cryer both gave their un-edited expenses to the Telegraph & Argus to view before they were officially published.

The mortgage-interest only claims vary dramatically between the MPs. This is due to fluctuations in the property market when the MP was elected.

Yesterday Commons Leader Harriet Harman announced MPs who abused their expenses faced being fined under new proposals to beef up the role of Parliament’s standards watchdog.

A new compliance officer at the Independent Parliamentary Standard Authority (Ipsa) will be responsible for investigating alleged breaches of expenses rules and be given the power to impose civil penalties on errant MPs.

The plans would also give Ipsa the power to set MPs’ pay and pensions from 2011-12.

She said changes had already been made to the parliamentary expense system and the announcement was “another vital step on that path to restoring public confidence.”

Miss Harman said: “This House of Commons has yet to fully resolve this damaging episode.

“But with clear acknowledgement of the public anger, with firm action already taken, with the Kelly report and the establishment of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority – this will be resolved.”

In the 2008/9 expenses, it has been revealed Labour defence minister Quentin Davies submitted a receipt for £20,700 – the cost of rebuilding a bell tower at his constituency home. He was paid £5,376 by the Commons fees office and denies trying to claim the full amount.

Tory MP James Arbuthnot claimed £43.56 for three “four-piece garlic peelers” from shopping channel QVC. Large parts of claims are blacked out on the Parliament website.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown quickly broke cover last night to announce he had paid back £500 claimed for painting a summer house at his home in Fife, saying that the spending was “questionable”. “I volunteered to do that,” Mr Brown said. “I looked through my expenses. I said I don’t want to claim for anything that is in any way questionable.”
