Liberal senator Ross Lightfoot tabled a statement in the Senate today saying he did not take $25,000 cash into Iraq on a taxpayer-funded trip.

News Ltd newspapers today reported Senator Lightfoot had smuggled $US20,000 into the country in January, on behalf of the Woodside Petroleum company, which was then donated towards a hospital that treats children who were victims of a chemical attack in 1988.

Senator Lightfoot said in his statement that he would later today direct his solicitors to take action against the newspapers over the claims.

He said they were not true.

"I did not take $US20,000 in cash with me to Iraq. The only money I took with me was $US1,000 of my own money for personal expenses. I have a receipt," he said.
