MP for Kettering Philip Hollobone is still the UK's cheapest Parliamentarian when it comes to expenses.

The Tory MP - who recently spoke of his anger after having a £17,000 ‘debt’ written off - claimed just £6,101.24 in 2016/17.

The data, released by expenses watchdog IPSA, shows the backbencher only claimed for train travel to and from London and for using the underground.

He also claimed just under £934 in office costs, such as telephone usage.

His total expenses for 2016/17 amounted to £183,509.67.

His staff payroll - including wife Jennie who is his executive secretary - totalled just more than £138,000.
