A standards watchdog has ordered MP Derek Conway to repay £3,757 of taxpayers' money used to employ his elder son Henry, the BBC has learned.
Mr Conway has already been censured by the Standards and Privileges Committee for payments to younger son Freddie - a student in Newcastle at the time.
He was also told to make a written apology to the House of Commons by the Standards and Privileges Committee.
It is to release a second report on payments to Henry, after a complaint from Labour MP John Mann.
Mr Conway has already been censured by for payments to younger son Freddie - a student in Newcastle at the time.
Mr Conway was told last year to repay £13,161 of money paid to Freddie.
It released a second report on payments to Henry following a complaint from Labour MP John Mann.
The BBC understands the Commons Standards and Privileges Committee has upheld the second complaint against Mr Conway and he will have to write a letter of apology to the chairman of the committee and repay some of the money.
But he is not expected to be told to apologise on the floor of the House of Commons.
'No record'
BBC political correspondent David Thompson said it appeared the committee had found the complaints over Henry "slightly less serious" than those over Freddie.
Mr Conway, MP for Old Bexley and Sidcup, was ordered to apologise to the House last year after the probe into his employment of Freddie.
The committee said there was "no record" of what work Freddie had done and said the £1,000-plus a month he was paid was too high.
The MP later had the Conservative whip withdrawn, was suspended from the Commons for 10 days and has said he will stand down at the next election.
He apologised but said Freddie had worked about 17 hours a week for him and had not infringed the staffing allowance rules.
