No repayments sought from local mps

MPs for Wharfedale and Aireborough are not being asked to repay expenses claims, as scrutiny of MPs’ claims goes on nationally.

The MPs for the Keighley, Leeds North West, Pudsey and Shipley constituencies have received letters from Sir Thomas Legg, who has carried out an independent audit of expenses for the House of Commons.

Some of the local members have been asked to clarify some of the expenses they have claimed, but none have so far been asked to repay any money.

The expenses scandal, triggered by a leak to a national newspaper, has seen senior members of both major political parties challenged over their expenses claims, and many politicians have already started repaying money. Others are said to be considering legal action, claiming the rules were changed after the event.

Letters have been sent out to MPs across the country detailing contested expenses claims, and asking some to pay money back.

However, MPs in this area have not been asked for any such repayments.
