CPS statement on MPs' expenses
He denies the charges and says he will "vigorously" defend himself against them adding: "All the claims I have ever made were made in good faith. I have never claimed more in expenses than I have spent in the course of my duties.
"To avoid any embarrassment or distraction for my party, I am standing down from my front bench duties in the House of Lords with immediate effect."
The Conservatives said he had been suspended from the parliamentary party. He has also quit as leader of Essex County Council. CPS said he will not be arrested but will be sent a summons to turn up on 11 March at City of Westminster magistrates court, a short walk from the Houses of Parliament.
