Employment minister Tony McNulty could face a police probe over his controversial expenses claims, it was revealed tonight.
Scotland Yard confirmed it was considering a complaint that Mr McNulty may have "obtained pecuniary advantage by deception".
In March it emerged that Mr McNulty had claimed around £60,000 from Commons allowances since 2002 towards maintaining a house where his parents lived.
He was able to receive the money because the property - which he owns - is in his Harrow constituency, just 11 miles from parliament.
The MP lives with his wife in her house three miles from Westminster, but insisted he had not broken any rules because he sometimes did work at the Harrow property.

Nothing will be done. He will be exonerated by his peers, a damning indictment on just how low MP's moral standards have slipped. If Uberstormfuhrer McNulty was a disabled veteran it is argued that his government would have had him into a Titan prison by now.
