Peter Bone, MP for Wellingborough in Northamptonshire has been accused of concealing his mother-in-law's assets so the council had to fund her care home. Story's in The Times but this is the Beeb version as Times has a paywall.
Apparently a file is going to the CPS.
I have no idea whether any crime has been committed and if so who did it, BUT that's never stopped the Tories making wild accusations and (wrongly) smearing all benefits claimants. Perhaps this will be a case of what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. In a better world, of course, it would make his colleagues be rather more circumspect about accusing ordinary members of the public...
