'Mr Steen, the MP for Totnes in Devon, claimed £87,729 over four years for a variety of services including the care of 500 trees at his Devon property.'

'The MP said in an interview on Thursday lunchtime: “I think I behaved, if I may say so, impeccably. I have done nothing criminal, that’s the most awful thing, and do you know what it is about? Jealousy.'

“I have got a very, very large house. Some people say it looks like Balmoral, but it’s a merchant house of the 19th century''

“It’s not particularly attractive, it just does me nicely and it’s got room to actually plant a few trees.”

'Mr Steen claimed for a forestry expert to inspect 500 trees in the grounds of his estate, among other services'

“As far as I am concerned and of this day I still don’t know what all the fuss is about.”

“What right does the public have to interfere with my private life? None. Do you know what this reminds me of? An episode of Coronation Street.''

'He also blamed the Freedom of Information Act'
