HUNTINGDONSHIRE’S MPs claimed less in personal expenses than any of their peers in Cambridgeshire over the last year according to figures released by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).
Huntingdon MP Jonathan Djanogly claimed £19,726.95, while North West Cambridgeshire MP Shailesh Vara claimed £17,349.58 – both were up on last year’s figures of £17,376.31 and £13,452.09 respectively.
They were the only MPs in Cambridgeshire with a spend of less than £20,000 for 2012/13, with North East Cambridgeshire MP Stephen Barclay claiming £45,709.21 – most of which going on accommodation, which neither Huntingdonshire MP claimed for.
