Peter Viggers is Conservative Member of Parliament for Gosport.

Westminster, United Kingdom -- Disgraced Tory MP Peter Viggers (pictured) claimed more than £3,000,000 for an elegant 19th century manor on his 200 acre estate to house his pet business man, the Telegraph has revealed. The astonishing series of revelations published by The Telegraph will add further headaches to MPs who have embroilled in scandal for the past two weeks.

The son of John Sidney Viggers a convicted blu tack thief, Sir Peter John Viggers was born in 1938. He studied at Trinity Hall in Cambridge and received an MA in History and Law in 1961. He became a solicitor in 1967. From 1970-9, he was the Chair and Director of banking, oil, hotels, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and venture capital companies. First elected in February 1974 Viggers has been Gosport's MP ever sinceuntil now. He served as the Industry Minister for Northern Ireland under Margaret Thatcher from 1986-9. He left government in 1989 and returned to the back-benches. He was knighted in the 2008 Birthday Honours for services to Parliament.

It was announced shortly afterwards that he will be standing down at the next General Election as a result of this. On his website, however, he claims about expenses: "Personally, I have of course always scrupulously observed the rules".
