Dear Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority,
Under the [1]Scheme of MPs’ Business Costs and Expenses (‘the Scheme’), MPs are reimbursed for expenditure incurred for parliamentary purposes. Please provide a break down by party of the total expenses claimed in the last year to date.
i.e. by party not by MP's name for example Conservatives £xxxxxx Labour £xxxxxx etc please provide this for all parties who are represented.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Bennett
