Labour MP Dan Norris has revealed that he had his septic tank emptied and bought an electric garden strimmer and mower on Parliamentary expenses.

The Wansdyke MP says he was the first politician in the Bristol area to voluntarily publish detailed accounts on his website and has pledged to release the full set of receipts as soon as possible.

He includes a breakdown that shows he claimed mortgage interest of £9,062.63 last year, £4,000 on food, £1,928.01 on utilities bills, £944.19 in council tax and his £135 TV licence under the second homes allowance scheme.

The MP declined to reveal which of his homes in London and Pensford he was claiming for.

But a £125 claim five years ago for his septic tank to be emptied and a claim for heating oil of £1,502.17 represent expenses unlikely to have been incurred on a property in the capital.

Cleaning costs of £2,108.17, service and maintenance bills totalling £1,337.47 and a bill of £1,346.52 covering repairs, security and insurance were also submitted. Mr Norris's site shows he has claimed for a £579.99 mattress, £59.99 electric mower and £54.99 electric strimmer in the past.

He explains that he has not changed the designation of his "main home" and "second home" since being elected in 1997 and only owns one home.

He said: "People can see what I have done already. I already have comprehensive information on my website.

"I was one of only 25 MPs to vote for disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

"I already have more detail than most MPs on my website. The receipts will be done as quickly as possible."

It comes as the chairman of Parliamentary Labour, Tony Lloyd, wrote to all the party's MPs urging them to publish their expenses before Commons authorities released them.

The Bristol region's Labour MPs are expected to follow suit in the coming days, starting with health minister Dawn Primarolo. The Bristol South MP intends to publish her receipts over the weekend.

Bristol East's Kerry McCarthy and Doug Naysmith, MP for Bristol North West, said they planned to publish detailed summaries as soon as possible. Kingswood's Roger Berry expects it will be towards the end of next week before he is able to complete the task.

He said: "It is absolutely the best thing to get the information out there as soon as possible.

"If anybody finds anything in there they think is against the spirit of the rules it should be paid back. I don't think that will happen in my case.

"Sir Christopher Kelly's committee will be looking at the future of the system and I really do believe that members have now got to say they will accept whatever he says.

"For most of the claims that have come out there has been no suggestion of anything fraudulent but where there allegations of fraud the police have got to be involved."

The first casualties of the expenses scandal emerged yesterday as potentially fraudulent claims were exposed.

Labour MP Elliot Morley was been suspended from the party after he admitted claiming £16,000 for a mortgage he had already paid off.

Conservative MP Andrew MacKay quit as parliamentary aide to leader David Cameron after it emerged he claimed full second home allowance on his London address, while his wife, Tory MP Julie Kirkbride, claimed the full allowance for another home.
