[MPs have approved a motion to suspend
Blackpool South MP Scott Benton
from the Commons for 35 days.

Mr Benton's suspension exceeds the
10-day threshold that triggers
a recall petition and potentially
a by-election.


The ex-Tory, who is now an independent
broke Commons rules when he was
caught by the Times offering to act
on behalf of gambling investors.

An independent panel upheld a
decision by the Standards Committee,
which Mr Benton had appealed against.]
