British Speaker John Bercow has pledged to use chauffeur-driven cars only when "absolutely necessary" after racking up a STG172 ($A362.87) bill travelling to a conference just 1.1km from parliament.
The Speaker came under heavy fire after a freedom of information (FOI) request by the Press Association revealed fresh details of his spending.
Mr Bercow has been widely criticised for splashing out large sums on foreign trips - including visits to Australia, New Zealand, the US and Burma.
But while the House authorities have previously published breakdowns of hundreds of thousands of pounds of his expenses since 2009, they have not always been complete.
After a landmark Court of Appeal ruling on the scope of FOI, parliament has now supplied the individual receipts that were submitted over the past three years.
Among the material in the disclosure is (inter alia):
* Mr Bercow used an official car to travel to Canterbury to see Archbishop Justin Welby enthroned in 2013 - at a cost of STG524.
* In April that year he spent STG172 taking a car to Carlton House Terrace - just 1.1km from the Commons - to open a conference on alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). A taxi fare for the round trip is likely to have been less than STG15.
* Mr Bercow's car to Baroness Thatcher's funeral at St Paul's Cathedral, 2.9km from the Commons, cost STG158.
* Mr Bercow and an aide charged $US299 ($A406.53) for dinner while staying at the five-star Strand hotel in Rangoon during an official visit to Burma in the summer of 2013. The hotel's website says it offers "grand colonial splendour".
Mr Bercow is not believed to require an official car for security reasons.
TaxPayers' Alliance campaign director Andy Silvester said: "This is an obscene waste of money and shows appalling judgment from whoever made the arrangements."
But a spokesman for the Speaker said: "One of the Speaker's duties is to represent Parliament at home and abroad. The Speaker attends funerals and memorials for former parliamentarians as both a mark of respect and as a representative of his parliamentary colleagues.
"The Speaker is always mindful of costs, and travels standard class in the UK and when away from home, stays in hotels that offer value for money."
The spokesman added later: "In line with his ongoing policy of reducing expenditure, he intends to use the car service only in circumstances when it is absolutely necessary."
