The parliamentary standards agency has published just what Nottinghamshire MPs have claimed on expenses so far this year. The official figures come after the Tax Payers' Alliance revealed Broxtowe's Conservative MP Darren Henry had claimed the most in expenses in the entire country last year.
In 2020/21 the average cost of an MP was £203,880, a 29.2% increase from the average £157,747 spent in 2019/20, the Tax Payers' Alliance had said. Mr Henry had claimed more than £280,000 in expenses, compared to the least expensive MP, Philip Hollobone, for Kettering, who claimed £80,709.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Agency (IPSA) keeps a tab on what MPs have been spending on business costs, including travel, staffing and accommodation. And the agency has now revealed what Nottinghamshire's MPs have claimed so far in the 2021/22 financial year.
