Three Labour MPs accused of expenses fraud pleaded not guilty when they appeared in court for the first time.

Extract:

 

Mr Morley, 57, of West Street, Winterton, North Lincolnshire, is accused of falsely claiming a furnishing allowance between March 2006 and November 2007.

The charge sheet alleged he submitted a deceptive mortgage application.

This showed £800 mortgage monthly interest was charged by the Cheltenham and Gloucester when in fact the mortgage was paid off. A total overpayment of £16,000 was made.

A second charge alleged that between April 2004 and February 2006 Morley made a further false mortgage interest claim.

Again he is accused of claiming £800 a month, a total overpayment of £14,428.67.
