1. Frank Cook (Stockton North - Lab)
In January 2008, he was de-selected by his local constituency Labour Party when choosing its candidate for the next general election.
In May 2009, the Daily Telegraph revealed he had tried to reclaim, as an expense, the £5 he had donated during a service at Stockton Parish Church to commemorate the Battle of Britain. The parliamentary fees office rejected his claim

3. Stephen Pound (Ealing North - Lab)
“In May 2009 it was discovered Pound had claimed a mileage allowance of £4,251, equating to 11,004 miles of travel between his home and Parliament just 11 miles away. He explained this by saying he made the trip 'two or three times a day', but provided no evidence of this.

4. Emily Thornberry (Islington South and Finsbury - Lab)
Married to Christopher Nugee QC
• A recent case was Charman v Charman [2007] EWCA Civ 503 (Court of Appeal decision on treatment of offshore discretionary trusts for ancillary relief purposes);
Controversies
1. Social housing campaign
During the course of a campaign run by Thornberry on the subject of social housing, the Islington Tribune, a local newspaper, discovered her husband had bought ex-social housing stock for over half a million pounds and receives rental income from the properties. Councillor Terry Stacy was highly critical, stating “Thornberry has tried to make a name for herself by opposing Islington’s policies on affordable housing. This is nothing less than hypocrisy.”
2. Electoral Commission complaint
“In 2006, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Sir Philip Mawer, received a complaint from Steve Hitchens, then-leader of Islington Council, that Ms Thornberry had "altered an electronic copy of an Electoral Commission news release by inserting a quotation from herself". . The complaint centred on a quote from Ms Thornberry which said "Its extremely worrying that only 67% have registered for Islington’s May Council elections", which Mr Hitchens saw as confusing the electoral registration response rate with the registration rate itself.
During the investigation, the Committee on Standards and Privileges heard that "the Electoral Commission does not think it acceptable that Ms Thornberry changed its press release without its permission. It believes that the quote inserted by Ms Thornberry was both politically contentious and misleading.”.. However, the Commissioner accepted that Ms Thornberry's primary motive was to act in the public interest by supporting the Electoral Commission’s campaign to improve response rates, and consequently levels of voter registration. He found her actions to have been "unwise and unfortunate" but that "there was no intention on her part to deceive or manipulate the public, nor had that been the effect of her actions"], and the Committee agreed with his findings.”
