Justice Secretary Jack Straw has responded to claims in The Daily Telegraph about his expenses.
Mr Straw over-claimed £1,500 on council tax on his second home. He made a claim for the full bill despite getting a 50% discount from the local authority for the property.
A spokesman for Mr Straw said he acted within the rules. He spotted the mistaken council tax claim himself and repaid the money himself.
