Lord Hanningfield charged with false accounting over expenses


56 minutes ago

From the section UK Politics

Lord Hanningfield has been charged with false accounting in relation to allegations of expenses fraud.

In a statement, the Crown Prosecution Service said it related to "claims for daily allowance at the House of Lords".

Lord Hanningfield's lawyer said the peer, a former Conservative council leader, was "very disappointed" at the decision.

The peer will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on 29 October 2015.

A spokesperson for the CPS said: "The CPS has today authorised the police to charge Paul White, known as Lord Hanningfield, with one charge of false accounting in relation to claims for daily allowance at the House of Lords."

The allegations surround dates where Lord Hanningfield spent between 28 and 38 minutes at the House of Lords.
