The first register of MP's interests since last month's General Election has been released, with St Albans and Harpenden's among those declaring the donations and freebies that they've received.

Covering the last 12 months to August 4, the register requires politicians to declare their financial interests.

New MPs are also required to disclose all of their financial interests in the year leading up to the election.

We've taken a look at the numbers for Daisy Cooper and Victoria Collins, the MPs for St Albans and Harpenden respectively.

Daisy Cooper, MP for St Albans

Daisy Cooper is beginning her second term as St Albans' MP, having been re-elected with an increased majority at the General Election.

Over the last 12 months Ms Cooper has received £83,477 in individual donations, many of which were made via the St Albans branch of her Liberal Democrat party.

Notable donations include £20,000 from College Streets Partners Ltd, £5,000 from former St Albans City and District Council leader Chris White and a series of £10,000 donations from individuals hoping to help with her bid for re-election.

As well as serving as the MP for St Albans, Ms Cooper is the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and makes frequent media appearances as part of the role.

Her register of interests includes a string of payments from broadcasters to cover travel expenses for programmes such as Question Time, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg and the BBC and Channel 4's General Election debates.

In March, she accepted a free pair of tickets for the BRIT Awards, paid for by UK Music Limited.

MPs receiving free tickets for sporting and cultural events is not unusual, although some have criticised the practice, claiming it to be an unethical form of lobbying.
