MPs with the largest and smallest expense claims

Ministers Tobias Ellwood, Edward Timpson and Caroline Dinenage and Chris Skidmore, parliamentary aide to Chancellor George Osborne, were among politicians listed as not paying outstanding sums of up to £500 last year – forcing them to be written off.

Current and former MPs have angrily denied that they had done anything wrong.
