OXFORDSHIRE’S MPs received almost £90,000 worth of expenses in the last year, new figures show.

Henley MP John Howell spent the most, £22,468, while Witney MP David Cameron spent the least, £3,608.

But revelations on a par with the infamous duck house and moat cleaning from The Daily Telegraph’s expose in 2009 are absent.

Wantage MP Edward Vaizey claimed the smallest single amount, 60p for a parking charge in his constituency last August.

Mr Vaizey had a £4.75 claim for travel and food for an intern at the House of Common cafeteria rejected because of insufficient evidence.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) released the figures, which are for March 2010 to April 2011, last week.

The claims now come under tough rules after the 2009 revelations of widespread abuse of the old system, which were designed and overseen by MPs.

The only previous Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority figures available, for May to August 2010, showed the county’s MPs claimed £23,447 in expenses.

The IPSA was created in 2009 by the Parliamentary Standards Act, and the new rules governing MPs’ expenses were introduced on May 7 the following year.

Oxford East MP Andrew Smith received £18,395.88.

This included £4,055.02 for accommodation at his Lambeth home, including council tax, mortgage interest, building insurance and utility bills, and £2,121.66 for 142 mileage claims, including 80p for two miles in September 2010.

Mr Smith also received £47 for paper shredding, £12.99 for a cleaning kit to clean constituency office computer screens and £42.50 for 10 keys for his constituency office.

He said: “The new system is better for holding MPs to account . The key thing is that it is totally independent of MPs and transparent.”

He said criticism of the system is “ill judged”, adding: “It would be wrong to go back to a system in which MPs made the decisions on this.”
