MPs should pay back all non-entitled expenses, not just part of them.
As individual citizens we would have to pay back any money we are not entitled to by law. Logic dictates that we cannot have one law for MPs and another for the people. In the past I have seen that MPs have gotten away by paying about 5% of what they have over claimed.
