Scottish MPs - pay back figures so far

Over the course of yesterday we were able to contact about 30 out of the 59 Scottish MPs to find out what Sir Thomas Legg had asked of them and to gauge their response. The list is reproduced below but bear in mind this is only about half of the Scottish cohort and that one or two were not willing to discuss details until they had responded to Sir Thomas.

UPDATE: Some newspapers are reporting that two Scottish MPs are being asked for "possible pay backs" of up to £30,000. We were in contact with one of them yesterday but no details were forthcoming. Without confirmation we can't reasonably publish.
