Work and pensions minister claimed more than £2,000 in expenses for for accountancy advice, the Telegraph has claimed.

McNulty submitted three bills at a total cost of £2,009 from firm HW Fisher.

His spokesman said he declared the accountancy fees 'as benefit in kind and tax was paid at 40 per cent throughout the period referred to'.

McNulty had recently paid back £2,600 received on expenses for mortgage interest payments on property his parents lived in, which were calculation errors rather than a bigger problem with the claim.
