More than half of all MPs have been ordered to pay back more than £1.1pounds which they'd wrongly claimed in expenses.
The original demand made by the former senior civil servant Sir Thomas Legg - was much higher, but it's been reduced by £185,000 when more than 40 MPs successfully appealed.
The Leader of the Commons Harriet Harman told MPs that if any of them refused to pay, the money would be docked from their salary.
