When tulips have finished flowering can they be cut right back or do the stalks have to be left for a while?

You may remove the stalks, but the leaves need to be left until they die down. We often remove the top of the stalks to stop the bulb wasting energy producing seeds.

same here Odb. In a spot of poor soil I also give them a weak feed too.
