Another report on ministerial expenses and spending is due to be released today.

The Auditor-General is due to release a report commissioned earlier this year concerning Housing Minister Phil Heatley's use of his ministerial credit card.

Mr Heatley resigned from Cabinet but was reinstated after it was found he did not intentionally break the rules by misspending $1402 of taxpayers' money.

Prime Minister John Key said the spotlight was now on Ministerial Services.

"The aim of the latest report was to look closely at the adequacy of Ministerial Services' administration of ministers' expenses and to make recommendations on what and where improvements could be made."

The report is due to be tabled at 2pm. Mr Key has been briefed on its contents but said he would not comment until it had been released.
