  • Oct.21.2010: Peers suspended from Lords over expenses claims. Three peers were given lengthy suspensions from the House of Lords today after wrongly claiming thousands of pounds in expenses. Labour peers Baroness Uddin and Lord Paul, and crossbencher Lord Bhatia, were suspended after the upper chamber approved the damning judgments of its Privileges and Conduct Committee. Lady Uddin was suspended until the end of the parliamentary session in 2012 and told to repay £125,349.10. Lady Uddin claimed more than £100,000 between 2005 and 2010 by stating that her main residence was a small flat in Maidstone, Kent, rather than her family home in east London. Lord Bhatia was sidelined for eight months and has already repaid more than £27,000. Lord Bhatia had claimed £27,446 in expenses on the basis that his main home was a small flat occupied by his brother in Reigate, Surrey, even though he and his wife were listed on the electoral roll at their long-standing address in Hampton, south-west London. Lord Paul was suspended for four months and has already returned £41,982. Lord Paul, a steel magnate and one of Britain's wealthiest men, lived in London but designated a one-bedroom flat in an Oxfordshire hotel that he owned as his main home. All three also claimed travel expenses. A Labour Party spokesman confirmed that Lord Paul had resigned his membership, while Lady Uddin had been suspended amid moves to expel her. The Independent, '
