AN MP who claimed his one-bedroom house in Colchester was his family home is being investigated over his parliamentary expenses, it was claimed today.
A national newspaper said the Metropolitan Police has launched a criminal inquiry into Leyton and Wanstead MP after he claimed £70,000 for a second home while at times renting out his main home in Colchester.
Scotland Yard refused to say whether Mr Cohen was under investigation.
This afternoon, former Essex County Council leader and Tory peer Lord Hanningfield is due to appear before City of Westminster Magistrates charged with six counts of theft.
