MPs claim they are above the law in expenses fraud case

Three Labour MPs being investigated for expenses fraud are arguing that they should not be prosecuted because their suspect claims are covered by parliamentary privilege.

The MPs have hired legal experts to assert that the 1689 Bill of Rights protects them from prosecution.

It has been a privilege to serve the public which certain MPs and members of the House of Lords have abused. What we are talking about here is large scale corruption. Perhaps the Labour party solicitors should have been called Steal and Shame?
