Suella Braverman claimed over £700 in MP expenses for a flat she wasn't living in

Suella Braverman claimed more than £700 in MP expenses towards the costs of a flat she was no longer living in.

The Home Secretary has not paid it back, despite renting the home out for profit during the period for which she had received the payout. In February 2019, Braverman claimed £1200 for the service charge on an apartment in Pimlico, Central London, for six months, from March 25 to September 28.

But the Commons Register of Members’ Financial Interests shows she moved out on June 6 – and earned rent on it from July 20. Under the expenses system run by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, she should have returned £731.55 after moving out.
