MP admits mortgage expense error
 Elliot Morley was said to be "heartbroken" |
A former minister has admitted he claimed £16,000 on expenses for a mortgage that had been paid off.
Labour MP Elliot Morley told the BBC he had repaid some back and it had been a mistake which he felt terrible about.
The Daily Telegraph reported he claimed £800 a month for a Scunthorpe property for 18 months after the mortgage ended.
More than 20 MPs have said they will pay back claims totalling nearly £130,000, amid public anger after days of revelations from leaked receipts.
