BOURNEMOUTH MPs Sir John Butterfill and Tobias Ellwood are among those who will pay back further money that was claimed in expenses.
The new repayments, totalling £125,000, are being made by 41 MPs after the Conservative Party’s scrutiny panel reviewed claims, and are in addition to the £130,000 already being repaid by 60 of the party’s MPs.
Sir John Butterfill, MP for Bournemouth West, will pay back an additional £14,478.
Party sources said the repayments related to his servants’ quarters. This is in addition to the £3,000 he has already repaid.
Also repaying money is Tobias Ellwood, MP for Bournemouth East, who will repay £145 for household bills.
Poole MP Robert Syms was also on the list to repay £932 but Conservative Party officials admitted this was a mistake.
