The parliamentary expenses watchdog will scrutinise a group of northern Tory MPs – after a Sky News investigation into how they use public money.

After they joined the Northern Research Group, two dozen MPs received political donations from a private donor to help with campaigning – meaning the MPs authorised thousands of pounds of taxpayer-funded expenses to be spent on its work.

Our deputy political editor Sam Coates tells Kimberley Leonard how this raises questions on whether MPs authorised public funding to be spent on the NRG because they knew they would be rewarded with a campaign donation.
