The report has cost more than the reclaimed money...how the hell does that work !!!!!!!

I believe they're making the announcement at about 11 re the prosecutions.

I think they'd be very unwise to try to wriggle out of throwing the book at some of them......if it was the average bloke on the street fiddling his tax returns, he wouldn't be shown leniency......MPs should be treated no differently xx

The mind boggles. How can a report cost £1,000,000 pounds perhaps it includes expenses!

I wonder how much these reports, inquiries and Quango's cost the British taxpaper and invariably they result in nothing.

Elliott Morley, David Chaytor, Jim Devine and Lord Hanningfield all to face criminal charges.

Labour party says they have already barred Elliott Morley, David Chaytor and Jim Devine from standing as Labour Party candidates at the next general election.

They aught to have to pay interest on the money they owe too as otherwise it has been like an interest free loan for them.

If ordinary civil servants had done this on the same scale I think P45s would have been issued. They have to identify and justify what they claim and have it checked. Disgraceful example from those who should know better.

I couldn't beleive they are looking to give them big wage increases to cover what they have lost in the expenses they should not have claimed in the first place. Just means they get the money without having to claim it doesn't it. Do we all look like mugs!!
