    Police investigate ex-Labour MP over expenses allegations
    Geoffrey Robinson accused of employing friend even after he had power of attorney over her
    21st December 2019

    'Police have said they are looking into possible “irregularities” over parliamentary expenses claims after reports that a former Labour MP and minister employed a friend as a member of staff until shortly before her death aged 90.

    According to the Mail on Sunday, Geoffrey Robinson, who stood down at the election after representing Coventry North West for 43 years, employed the woman even after he gained power of attorney over her affairs, and when she was too frail to look after herself.'
