As more tales of phantom mortgages emerge from the MPs’ expenses dossier, there are still a number of politicians who are not ripping off the taxpayer

Brian Jenkins, the Labour MP for Tamworth, claims little or no mortgage interest for his property in London where he stays when he is not in his constituency 120 miles away.

In 2004-05, he claimed £60 a month, while he made no claims at all on his mortgage interest between 2005 and 2008.

Another MP whose claims are low is the Labour MP Angela Eagle, who divides her time between her constituency of Wallasey in Wirral, Merseyside, and Westminster, 225 miles away. Between 2004 and 2008, she claimed £155 a month for the mortgage interest on her constituency home and at one point was under-claiming her council tax by £7 a month.

Miss Eagle claimed £7,045 ACA in 2007-8, while her twin, Maria, who is also an MP, claimed thousands of pounds refurbishing a bathroom at one of her flats just before switching her designated second home.

Paul Burstow, the Liberal Democrat chief whip and MP for Sutton & Cheam, is entitled to claim a second home allowance as he lives in outer London but the married father of three claims a sum that is a fraction of the maximum additional cost allowance by accepting the £2,812 London subsidy instead.

His constituency is 13 miles from Westminster and he travels in each day. He said recently: “It is quite right that MPs should be held to account for the money they are spending on behalf of taxpayers.”
