According to the expense claims published here on the Parliament website, David Heathcoat-Amory submitted an invoice, dated 30 April 2008, for several gardening items that included £1.69 for twine and £2.69 for slug pellets.

A further expenses claim appears to have been made on 31st July 2008 for £6.99 for a tub of Miracle Grow and a further £2.69 for slug pellets. Such claims are within the rules laid down by parliament.
