Criminal charges against MPs to be revealed
By politics.co.uk staff
MPs will discover tomorrow if any of them will face criminal charges over their expenses.
A handful of MPs’ cases have been handed over to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which will announce if any charges will follow tomorrow.
The list of people affected, made up of MPs and peers, is thought to number six.
Previous instances of the police handing politically-related cases over to the CPS have traditionally been met with a brick wall.
During the cash-for-peerages scandal, for instance, the CPS concluded convictions were unlikely and decided not to proceed with the cases.
