Lord Hanningfield, the Tory peer jailed for fiddling his expenses, should have his title rescinded

'Lord' Hanningfield - twice arrested for fiddling his expenses - has abused his position and as he is now a convicted felon I believe he should have his title removed. Paul White's (to use his given name) expenses from when he was leader of Essex County Council are also under police investigation An appeal against his conviction was rejected by the Court of Appeal on 20 July 2011. On 12th September 2011, it was reported hewas released from prison on home detention curfew, after serving just a quarter of his 9 month sentence This would hardly imply someone who is deserving of such an honour.
