Title: Chaytor Jailed Post by: Јas on January 07, 2011, 10:02:05 AM Quote from: BBC Ex Labour MP David Chaytor has been jailed for 18 months for fraudulently claiming more than £20,000 in expenses. Chaytor, 61, the former MP for Bury North, last month admitted three charges of false accounting. He made claims for IT consultancy work he was never charged for and renting two homes which, it turned out, were owned by him and his mother. ... A Labour Party spokesman said: "David Chaytor had already been suspended from the Labour Party and following his custodial sentence he has now been excluded from the party." - BBC Report (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12127327) Title: Re: Chaytor Jailed Post by: Silent Hunter on January 07, 2011, 10:20:36 AM He got 18 months after pleading guilty. Clearly the courts want to make an example of him.

Idiot. Rastrick? Mr Rastrick? ::) So, he's considered the worst offender? As far I as know (and I've not followed this much, so I might be wrong) the worst offenders who're being prosecuted are Elliot Morley and Lord Hanningfield. Presumably they'll both get more |
