Elliot Morley
The former environment minister who has admitted fiddling his expenses by £32,000, is facing the longest prison sentence of all the MPs caught up in the scandal.
Miss MoranWho stood down as the MP for Luton South at last year’s general election, was already being investigated over claims for expenses on her second home. Miss Moran claimed £97,312 for paying her office staff. The staffing allowance maximum was £90,854, but MPs are allowed to transfer funds from a separate office allowance. She was accused of using her staff, as well as Parliamentary notepaper, to help a company partially run from her constituency office.
