Heather Brooke, Freedom of Information campaigner, speaks during an interview with the Associated Press in London, Monday, May 11, 2009.

The expense bills reveal how lawmakers frittered away public money with claims for porn movies, chandeliers and housekeepers or repairs to a tennis court, a swimming pool and a helicopter pad.
