Dear Captain Wayt,

Freedom of Information Request F18-208

Thank you for your request for information, copied below. You asked for
the name and number of MPs who had their expenses claims investigated in
the year 2017 and for the sums involved.

This information is not held by the House of Commons as no MPs had their
expenses claims investigated by the House in 2017.

It may help you to know that MPs’ expenses claims are regulated by the
Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority [IPSA]. Unwarranted expenses
claims would therefore be investigated by IPSA, and not the House of
Commons. Therefore you may wish to consider contacting IPSA whose details
can be found at: [1]http://www.theipsa.org.uk/.

You may, if dissatisfied with the handling of your request, complain to
the House of Commons. Alternatively, if you are dissatisfied with the
outcome of your request you may ask the House of Commons to conduct an
internal review of any decision regarding your request.  Complaints or
requests for internal review should be addressed to: Information Rights
and Information Security Service, Research & Information Team, House of
Commons, London SW1A 0AA or [2][House of Commons request email].  Please ensure
that you specify the full reasons for your complaint or internal review
along with any arguments or points that you wish to make.

If you remain dissatisfied, you may appeal to the Information Commissioner
at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF,
[3]www.ico.gov.uk.

Yours sincerely,

Jean Fessey | Information Rights Officer
Information Rights and Information Security (IRIS) Service | House of
Commons
