PM election ban on 'expenses MPs'
Gordon Brown has said that no MP who has defied the rules on their Commons expenses will be allowed to stand for election as a Labour Party candidate.
After addressing a meeting of Labour's ruling National Executive Committee, the Prime Minister also promised "major changes" in the system of MPs' expenses.
He said that the expenses of every MP going back four years will be examined.
Mr Brown added: "If they are found to have broken the rules, then action will be taken."
He refused to comment on Commons Speaker Michael Martin's intention to announce his resignation.
