The Telegraph has learned that the £13,000 that Miss Blears repaid voluntarily last month, in the wake of expenses disclosures about the sale of her flat in Kennington flat, south London, was to cover the sale proceeds of two of her designated 'second homes'.

A spokesman for Miss Blears confirmed that she had another previously sold property in Shad Thames, also in London, which she had designated as her second home for Commons allowances purposes, but which she had nominated as her main residence for capital gains tax purposes
