Former MP Eric Illsley has been given a year's jail sentence for dishonestly claiming parliamentary expenses.
Illsley, 55, pleaded guilty to £14,000 of expenses fraud last month relating to claims he made for his second home between 2005 and 2008.
He becomes the second former MP, after once Labour colleague David Chaytor, to be jailed for expenses offences.
Mr Justice Saunders said Illsley had breached the "high degree of trust" placed in MPs by the public.
His jailing came on the same day as former Labour MP Jim Devine was found guilty on two counts of dishonestly claiming £8,385 of expenses by using false invoices for cleaning and printing work. Devine has yet to be sentenced.
He knew what was coming - turned up with his toothbrush and pyjamas
