Shahid Malik, the Communities and Local Government Minister, claimed £850 for a new door and £1,900 for new windows in March. When the fees office queried the cost in June in the wake of The Daily Telegraph’s disclosures, Mr Malik told them he was a “high-profile parliamentarian”.



The Labour MP for Dewsbury also claimed £1,547 in February for work that included removing moss from a wall and plastering. He claimed £399 for a washing machine and £234 for a “solid oak bathroom vanity unit”.



Mr Malik was criticised earlier this year for claiming thousands of pounds on a house in Peckham, south London. In three years, he claimed £66,827, including £2,100 for a flat-screen television and £730 for a massage chair. However, he has now moved out



In attempting to justify his claims to the fees office, Mr Malik wrote: “In addition, being a Justice Minister, Home Office Minister at the time and being a high-profile Parliamentarian, who is outspoken on the extremism [sic], terrorism and white supremacists I hope you agree it is a reasonable [sic].”
