Expenses watchdog launches probe into group of northern Tory MPs after Sky News investigation

A powerful group of northern Tory MPs is being probed by the Parliamentary expenses watchdog after a Sky News investigation into the way they use public money .

Sky News found nearly two dozen MPs received political donations from a private donor to help them with campaigning - weeks after they joined the Northern Research Group and authorised thousands of pounds of taxpayer funded expenses to be spent on its work.

Sir Jake Berry, founder of NRG, denied a link between the donations and the use of public money for the group.
