<p>Former Labour MP David Chaytor faces jail when he is sentenced for making false parliamentary expenses claims.</p>
<p>Chaytor, 61, became the first politician convicted over the expenses scandal when he pleaded guilty last month to three counts of false accounting totalling £18,350.</p>
<p>One of the charges relates to £5,425 he falsely claimed between September 2007 and January 2008 for renting a house owned by his mother in Castle Street, Bury, Lancashire.</p>
<p>He admitted he did not pay her and would anyway not have been allowed to claim for leasing a property from a family member. His mother, who was in a home and suffering from Alzheimer&#8217;s at the time, has since died.</p>
<p>Chaytor also admitted making false claims for £12,925 between November 2005 and September 2006 for renting a flat in Regency Street, near Westminster, central London, which it turned out he owned.</p>
<p>A fake tenancy agreement said he was paying £1,175 a month rent for the property.</p>
<p>The third charge relates to falsely charging £1,950 for IT support services in May 2006, although the money was never paid to the former MP. The charge said Chaytor supplied two invoices from a man named Paul France &#8220;when in fact the services had not been provided or charged for&#8221;.</p>
<p>Chaytor, of Lumbutts, Todmorden, West Yorkshire, initially denied the charges, but he changed his plea at the Old Bailey on December 3 ahead of a trial.</p>
<p>He was released on bail to be sentenced in Court 1 at London&#8217;s Southwark Crown Court.</p>
<p>Chaytor, a former lecturer who is married with three children, faces up to seven years in jail but his guilty pleas mean the judge can reduce his sentence by a third.</p>
