Members of Parliament will no longer be able to claim for furniture and renovations for their second homes under new House of Commons recommendations.

They will have to produce receipts for every expense item submitted and allow the National Audit Office to conduct random checks of their claims, the House of Commons Members Estimate Committee recommended.

MPs have been under pressure to modernise and publish details of their expenses practices since Conservative Derek Conway was suspended in January for claiming for parliamentary work he said was done by his son, when no evidence existed any work had actually been done.

MPs can at present charge up to 24,000 pounds a year for the "additional costs" of running a second home away from their constituency so that they can attend Parliament.

"We recommend that, with immediate effect, members should no longer be able to claim reimbursement for furniture and household goods or for capital improvements," the committee said.

The official list of items MPs could claim for their second homes was revealed in March after a Freedom of Information request.

It had been dubbed the "John Lewis" list as many of the maximum prices for items such as televisions were based on prices from the department store.

Instead, the committee said MPs staying away from their constituency should be able to claim up to 19,600 pounds a year as an overnight allowance, including a 30 pounds daily subsistence rate.

The committee said receipts should be submitted for all items claimed.

MPs at present only have to provide receipts for items worth more than 25 pounds, a threshold reduced from 250 pounds in April.

Conservative MP Douglas Carswell told Sky News the recommendations did not go far enough and called for details of all expense claims to be published.

"If you worked in business and you claimed for things, you would have to disclose. It's got to be the same in politics - full transparency, full disclosure."

In May, the Commons released details of expenses claimed by 14 senior MPs including Prime Minister Gordon Brown after giving up a legal battle to keep them secret.
