Former Essex County Council leader Lord Hanningfield was jailed today for nine months at Maidstone Crown Court.

In May the 70-year old Conservative peer was found guilty of six counts of false accounting at Chelmsford Crown Court. Charged under his name Paul White, he was accused of falsely claiming over £14,000 in Parliamentary expenses for journeys and overnight stays in London.
