MPs call in a psychiatrist to deal with the 'stress' of the expenses furore

Source: Daily Mail


A psychiatrist has been made available to counsel cheating MPs who are 'stressed' by the expenses scandal.

The therapist has been retained on-call because of concerns that some politicians are close to mental breakdowns following scrutiny of their claims, the Mail understands.

At least half a dozen MPs have been reported to the police following allegations that they have committed crimes by fiddling their taxpayer-funded allowances.

The Mail reported this month that three unnamed backbenchers were said to have been placed on 'suicide watch' by Labour whips.

The psychiatrist, paid from taxpayers' money, will be on hand to counsel MPs struggling to cope after details of their excesses were revealed, sources say
