Quote:
Ex-Conservative peers Lord Taylor of Warwick and Lord Hanningfield have been released early from jail sentences for fiddling parliamentary expenses.

Former Essex County Council leader Lord Hanningfield was jailed for nine months in July for falsely claiming almost £14,000 for overnight stays in London.

Lord Taylor was jailed for a year in May for fraudulently claiming £11,277.

It is understood they were freed on curfew with electronic tags, having served a quarter of their term.

The Prison Service does not comment on individual cases but a spokesman said home detention was used for "low-risk prisoners", serving sentences of between three months and four years, who had spent at least 30 days behind bars.

Both peers had said during their trials that submitting false claims was accepted practice among members of the Lords.

Anyone else think that they got off early?

Good idea tagging them, that'll discourage them from fiddling the books!

No doubt we'll be fed the usual line of BS about making space in prison for 'real' criminals.

Not surprising when they need to fill the gaols with rioters. They are not as feral as the rioters. I wonder if they will be out after a quarter of their sentence?
