The bill for providing Bradford MPs with a second home in London ran to more than £40,000 last year.

The House of Commons last night published the details of claims made under the second home allowance, office running costs, non-payroll staffing and communications allowances to the end of 2009.

The second home allowance, paid to reimburse MPs for costs incurred when staying overnight away from their main home revealed Bradford South MP Gerry Sutcliffe claimed £6,088.24, Bradford West MP Marsha Singh £3,114.99 and former Bradford North MP Terry Rooney £5,906.79 between April and December last year.

In addition Shipley MP Philip Davies put in receipts for £17,280.45 and retiring Keighley MP Ann Cryer was reimbursed £8,365.23. The discrepancies in amounts relate to when the MP was elected and how expensive house prices were at the time.

Mr Davies said: “Those people elected in 2005, as I was, are likely to have considerably higher costs as property prices were at a high. I have nothing to hide and I am and always have been more than happy for anyone to see my claims.”

All MPs submitted claims for food ranging from £475 to £2,400. No-one claimed for any household items. All entries were for gas, electricity, service charges on flats and rent or mortgage interest payments. Claims under the office costs included shredding charges, office cleaning and petty cash.

The expenses scandal last year left many MPs across the country red-faced and having to pay back money to the tax-payer after claiming items from a duck house to moat cleaning.

New rules for allowances came into force at the election. New MPs can only rent accommodation, aimed at stopping people making a profit from the sale of their second property. MPs who already own taxpayer-funded second homes will be able to keep claiming until August 2012 for mortgage interest until they sell the property and profits made will be recouped.

The subsistence allowance has also been scrapped and now MPs can claim up to £15 for a meal with a receipt when the Commons sits later than 7.30pm.

In a surprise move the Commons authorities did not publish receipts submitted by MPs and said they would be released at a later date.

Mr Davies said: “I think the receipts should have been published with the expenses.”

The information also reveals David Cameron – then Opposition leader – claimed £8,205.53 in costs for running his constituency home in Oxfordshire between July and December.

Then Prime Minister Gordon Brown ran up a bill of £15,147.84 on rent and running costs for the office supporting his MP duties. He stopped claiming for personal accommodation last July after criticism that he was living in Downing Street and did not need a second home.

After last year’s scandal an audit by Sir Thomas Legg recommended that 390 MPs hand back £1.12 million. The highest repayment was £42,458.

Nationally, when office, communications and incidental expenses are taken into account, as well as the second home allowance, MPs claimed £10 million in expenses from the second and third quarters of the 2009/10 financial year. The figures indicate spending dropped after the expenses scandal broke. In the second and third quarters of 2008/9 a total of £11.7m was claimed.
