AN MP was last night urged to come clean about pay-per-view movies claimed for in hotels.
Jeffrey Donaldson, a DUP MP, paid back £555 to the Commons authorities but SDLP Assembly member John Dallat demanded greater transparency.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Mr Donaldson submitted 68 film receipts for 2004-5 but denied any wrongdoing.
Mr Dallat said: "He has a duty to tell us exactly what videos he has been watching in hotels when he was actually conducting these public duties."
Mr Donaldson's lawyer said: "It would have been common practice to have used pay TV."
