  Further to Dave's post above..yes its Elliot Morley who has claimed for a mortgage he doesnt have. That's criminal surely, we have reached the ultimate bottom of the cesspit with this one. As I understand it..it is no defense in law to offer to pay things back. It doesnt exonerate you from the crime. So all these people rushing to pay stuff back, and waving their cheques about on television, is not an exemption from the original crime. It may be desirable but its not an exemption, an exoneration. The crime has still been committed.
  
  Ive had braces of press releases in over the years about local people of humble means claiming benefits wrongly and going to jail for their trouble. Even these people, poor mostly, have more of a case than the rather well off affluent and now effluent MP's claiming similar.
  
  I also think that the staff in the fees office who turned a blind eye to almost every claim should be sacked. We could start there.
