Published Date: 06 July 2009
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."

If he did in public what he was doing while watching the movies he would have been arrested.
