Accused MPs may still get huge payoffs

Accused MPs may still get huge payoffs



THREE MPs facing charges over their expenses claims could still receive huge resettlement grants totalling £150,000 between them when they step down from parliament.

Elliot Morley, Jim Devine and David Chaytor may be entitled to the payments despite being charged with false accounting.


I've got a better idea. Use the £50,000 each on paying for their 12 months imprisonment, then give them each £50 discharge grant like other prisoners receive for resettlement!

And release them on Christmas Eve, leaving how long before their next money? Problem is that they'd wind up doing someone's house.
