Lord Taylor guilty of making false expenses claims

Former Conservative peer Lord Taylor has been found guilty of making £11,277 in false parliamentary expenses claims.

The 58-year-old peer claimed travel costs between his Oxford home and Westminster, as well as subsistence for staying in London.

He claimed he had made the false claims "in lieu of a salary," and had been acting on the advice of colleagues.

But a jury at Southwark Crown Court found him guilty in a majority verdict.
