The Conservatives spent more than £16m on achieving an 80-seat majority in December, including paying for a £500 cab journey from York and £22,000 on food deliveries, official figures show.
Data released by the the Electoral Commission on Wednesday shows that the party spent nearly £6m sending unsolicited material across the country, and paid more than £1.6m on the polling firm set up by the Australian election guru Lynton Crosby.
