Francis Maude MP Horsham:

2007-08
Total expenses £148,402
of which second
home allowance £23,083

Claim: Shadow cabinet office minister Francis Maude claimed almost £35,000 in mortgage interest payments on a London flat that he bought, close to a house he already owned and then rented out, said the Telegraph.

Response: "The London house I rented out had been bought, renovated and furnished with our own money, with the exception of a modestly priced replacement bed. The new flat purchased was therefore properly designated as our second home and enabled me to carry out my parliamentary duties. It was also renovated and furnished entirely with our own money." Mr Maude has agreed to stop claiming second home allowances on his London home.

Claim: The Telegraph said the shadow environment secretary claimed for stamp duty on a home he jointly owned with his partner. It says he claimed £10,000 of the £14,700 stamp duty on his constituency home as well as claiming for the entire monthly mortgage interest, £1,893, - even though his partner's name was on the deeds.

Response: He told the newspaper: "My partner and I purchased a house in Arundel after I was elected in 2005 and I have claimed for some of the cost in accordance with the rules which treat partners and civil partners in the same way as spouses."
