According to the
Telegraph:
Baroness Uddin, a Labour peer and the first Muslim woman to be appointed to the upper house, is set to be suspended from the Lords for between a year and 18 months, and has agreed to pay back £125,000 in wrongly claimed expenses.
Lord Paul, another Labour peer and a major party donor, has been recommended for a suspension of between four and six months and has agreed to pay back £40,000.
Lord Bhatia, who sits as a cross-bencher but has also donated money to Labour, faces a ban of between six and 12 months and is to repay voluntarily £27,000.

Attention all criminals ... if caught just say you'll pay it back and that your sorry. Everything will then be ok.
These people should be banned from holding any political office. It makes a mockery of justice.
And what about thievery by fat cats and folks who know folk when different governments stupidly denationalised vital services, British Rail et al?. Daylight robbery!
