David Ruffley MP said:-

'I very much welcome the detailed independent scrutiny that Sir Thomas Legg has undertaken over the summer of every MP's ACA expenses from 2004-5 to 2008-9. He wrote to every MP on 12 October 2009. Whilst he requested many other MPs to answer further queries or make repayments, in his letter to me Sir Thomas stated:

'I have not identified any payments made to you under the ACA during the review period which I consider call for any repayment or further supporting evidence to be provided by you. Accordingly, my conclusion is that no action is required from you in this matter'.'
