At least two MPs and a peer being investigated by Police for expenses fraud are expected to be charged today.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer QC will make a statement at 11am this morning on who should face trial.

The Crown Prosecution Service has been considering police evidence files on a total of six MPs and peers.

Former Agriculture Minister Elliot Morley and David Chaytor MP allegedly claimed for mortgages which had already been paid off.

MP Jim Devine was probed over invoices for £2,157 electrical work.

Lord Hanningfield and former Labour Party chairman Lord Clarke were investigated over claims for staying in London and Baroness Uddin over a claim on an alleged empty property.

A joint Scotland Yard and CPS panel of senior detectives and lawyers was set up by Mr Starmer and Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson last June.

The panel focused on MPs and later peers who "had their hands in the till rather than their snouts in the trough".

But one legal source told The Sun last night: "The general public would probably be of the opinion that the expenses of many MPs and lords were criminal."

Yesterday 392 serving and ex-MPs were told pay back £1.12MILLION in dodgy claims, as sleazebuster Sir Thomas Legg launched a blistering attack on the "deeply flawed" expenses system.

Gordon Brown was exposed as the worst Cabinet offender in the MPs' expenses scandal - as he was ordered to give back £12,888.03 of taxpayers' cash.

The Prime Minister's repayment - part of £21,189.53 he claimed for cleaning costs - accounted for more than half the £24,643.17 total demanded from 12 Cabinet ministers.

Apart from Mr Brown, the "Dodgy Dozen" ministers, out of 23 in Labour's Cabinet, are: Business Secretary Peter Mandelson, Chancellor Alistair Darling. Foreign Secretary David Miliband, Justice Secretary Jack Straw.

Communities and Local Government Minister John Denham, Children, Schools and Families Secretary Ed Balls and his wife, Work and Pensions Secretary Yvette Cooper.

Health Secretary Andy Burnham, Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward, Secretary of State for Scotland Jim Murphy and Chief Treasury Secretary Liam Byrne.

Sir Thomas ordered Tory leader David Cameron to pay back £237 overpaid mortgage interest and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg £910 he claimed for gardening costs.

Mr Cameron has returned a total of £965, including a claim for clearing wisteria from his chimney.

The report originally said MPs should pay back £1.3million going back to 2004.

It was cut by £185,000 after ex-High Court judge Sir Paul Kennedy backed 44 MPs out of 75 who appealed.

Sir Paul criticised the Legg report and said it was "damaging and wrong" to say MPs were tainted when many claims were genuine.

He claimed he found "little, if any, evidence" of impropriety.

More than £800,000 in expenses has been repaid so far. But 73 MPs have yet to pay nearly £300,000. They include Tory veteran David Heathcoat-Amory, who owes £23,569.69.

They have until February 22 to stump up the cash. If they refuse, the money will be taken from their salaries or their "golden goodbyes" when they leave Parliament.

But some ex-MPs could escape repayments because there is no way to get the money from them.
