These figures just reported. But before anyone gets too excited (or despondent), the background is that some clever-clogs has taken the list of MPs expenses payments, as calculated by Sir Thomas Legg, and worked out the average repayment per party. The percentages are based on those figures against the total amounts considered to be owed before any appeal, successful or otherwise.
If you're interested, the average repayments per (over-claiming) MP for each party are:
Conservative £4,831.09
Labour £2,749.58
Lib Dem £2,649.59
Others £2,288.34
It probably all makes sense to someone.

Quite a under reported statistic.
