Labour's Margaret Hodge has reported Boris Johnson to the MPs' standards watchdog over how renovations to his flat were initially paid for.
Dame Margaret says it is "unacceptable" that the PM "refuses to publicly declare exactly where the upfront costs for this redecoration came from".
The PM says he has paid for the work himself.
But a number of inquiries are under way into whether the costs were initially covered by donations.
The Electoral Commission - the watchdog overseeing political finances - is investigating the Conservative Party's compliance with laws on political donations, having said there are "reasonable grounds to suspect that an offence or offences may have occurred".
