Health minister to repay £41,709

Phil Hope: "The public anger has been a massive blow to me"

Health minister Phil Hope is to repay £41,709 in second home allowances following media revelations.

The Labour MP said he had kept to the rules but stories about his expenses had caused a "massive blow" to his integrity and standing with voters.

It is the biggest amount an MP has paid back as all parties attempt to repair the damage to their reputation.
