Nine MPs claimed Amazon Prime subscriptions on their parliamentary expenses, giving them access to the service's biggest Hollywood blockbusters and Jeremy Clarkson's The Grand Tour.

Some of them said it was a mistake, or were caught in a "subscription trap" after taking out a free trial, the Daily Mirror reports after new figures were revealed.

Members who take out the online retail giant's premium subscription for £79 a year get a range of benefits, including quicker delivery and the ability to stream thousands of TV shows and films.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, responsible for handling expenses claims, told the paper subscriptions could be claimed but MPs must "justify the subscription is primarily used for parliamentary purposes".
