British MP jailed over expenses scandal

British MP jailed over expenses scandal


Saturday, January 08, 2011 » 12:34pm




Former British Labour MP David Chaytor has been jailed for making false Parliamentary expense claims.

• Former British Labour MP David Chaytor has been jailed for 18 months after he pleaded guilty to making false Parliamentary expense claims.

Chaytor submitted bogus invoices which led to him receiving 18,350 GBP worth of payments he was not entitled to.

He is the first politician to be convicted and sentenced over the expenses scandal that rocked Westminster.

Mr Justice Saunders cut the sentence by six months in recognition of the ex MP's guilty plea.

He acknowledged the negative publicity surrounding the case but said the public 'understandably feel cheated' by the MP wrongly claiming taxpayers' money.

The Parliamentary expenses scandal has 'shaken public confidence in the legislature and angered the public'.

'Chaytor only bears a small part of responsibility for that erosion of confidence and the public anger,' he added.

He said father-of-three Chaytor - who did not react when sentenced - breached the 'high degree of trust' that had been placed in MPs to make honest claims.

The former MP is now facing a large legal bill for both his defence and the costs of bringing the prosecution against him. He has agreed to pay back the sum he wrongly received.

James Sturman QC, who represented the former politician, had argued against a custodial sentence.

He said the case had already cost the 61-year-old his 'hard-earned reputation for integrity'.

The lawyer acknowledged the ex-MP had demonstrated 'inexplicable stupidity' by submitting fake documents.

Attacking 'gleeful, gloating' media coverage of the case, Mr Sturman suggested Chaytor was almost certainly suffering from depression as a result of the negative publicity.

Chaytor pleaded guilty to three counts of false accounting relating to rent and claims for IT consultancy work that he had never been required to pay for.

He had asked for rent money covering homes in London and his constituency but it later transpired the properties were already owned by him and his mother.

Peter Wright QC, the prosecutor, said: 'We say Mr Chaytor knew the rules, and we say why else would he produce false documents in support of his claims otherwise?'

But Chaytor's lawyer insisted that if he had submitted the claims properly, he would have been 'entitled to every penny, if not more than he claimed'.

Following the sentence, a Labour Party spokesperson said: 'David Chaytor had already been suspended from the Labour Party and following his custodial sentence he has now been excluded from the party.'
