In the period of 2001 to 2004, Mr Galloway's expenses claims amounted to £1,491 for each time he voted in the Commons.
The MP for Bethnal Green and Bow has faced criticism in recent weeks for confining himself to the Big Brother house instead of attending debates and votes in the House of Commons.
But yesterday's figures - which date back to his time as Labour MP for Glasgow Kelvin - show that he has never been one of Westminster's regular attenders.
Although his total expenses bill was around the average for MPs, the infrequency of his voting habits made him more expensive than any other backbencher, the report by the London School of Economics said.
