Description | Three Labour MPs and one Tory peer will face criminal charges over their expenses, Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer has said.
MPs Elliot Morley, Jim Devine, David Chaytor and Lord Hanningfield will be charged under the Theft Act.
All four have said they denied any charges and would defend their positions robustly.
Revelations about MPs' expenses emerged in May last year with the police going on to investigate a handful of cases. |
