West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin today published her latest expenses which have been approved by the independent watchdog.
The publication covers expenses processed over the period stretching across August and September 2012.
Harriett is reimbursed for some second home expenses and also the regular car journeys she makes between Westminster and the constituency, and attending meetings in the county.
The expenses also include the travel costs of her constituency staff and the costs incurred running an office in Malvern and holding weekly advice surgeries.
Harriett was repaid £58.50 to cover second home accommodation as well as office costs of £2,552.83. She was also repaid £2,033.79 to cover her travel costs.
The latest travel claim includes a return flight to Moscow with the UK Chief Vet to help lift the ban on the sale of British meat in Russia. MPs can claim a maximum of three return journeys per year to the national parliaments of Council of Europe member states, or institutions and agencies of the European Union.
Harriett said: “All of these expenses have been verified and approved by the independent watchdog.
“I remain fully committed to this process. The public should have complete transparency.”
