Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant has declined to comment on whether he will have to repay any of his expenses.
Several high-profile members of the House of Commons will pay back money following retrospective limits imposed after a review by Sir Thomas Legg.
The likes of Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg are among those who have made public the details of the letters which were handed to MPs outlining their position.
Some MPs have criticised the levels imposed by the review, but Tory leader David Cameron – who has been asked to provide more information on his claims – has insisted MPs in his party who do not pay up will not be allowed to stand as Conservative candidates at the next general election.
When an earlier league table of total claims had placed Mr Fabricant 569th out of 645 MPs, he reassured constituents:
“I like to think I offer good value for money.”
