The latest details of expenses claimed by MPs under the controversial second homes allowance are published; hundreds of thousands of receipts from claims made by MPs from April 2008 to June 2009. More than 50 MPs "flipped" their second home allowance last year from one property to another. Defence minister Quentin Davies denies trying to claim on expenses the £20,700 cost of rebuilding a bell tower at his constituency home. It brings back the shivers from the summer of discontent when talk of duck houses and moats were all the rage.
