Danczuk admits wrongly claiming £11,000 - 18th Mar 2016 2:09pm
MP Simon Danczuk has been ordered to repay thousands of pounds after admitting an expenses claims "error".
The Rochdale MP has been investigated over money he wrongly claimed for the cost of his children living in London.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) has now told him he must repay £11,583.20.
Mr Danczuk, who was suspended by Labour last year, said he "holds his hands up" and promised to repay all the money "at the earliest opportunity".
Local Liberal Democrats asked police to check if Mr Danczuk had wrongly claimed expenses for accommodation for two of his children.
The expenses watchdog found that Mr Danczuk had been claiming "dependent uplifts" for his two eldest children for a period of three years when the children were not "routinely" staying with him at his London accommodation.
