Last Updated: 3:53PM BST 22 May 2009  Ian Gibson published censored details of his expenses claims on his website earlier this week  The chamber, a special panel set up by the party's ruling National Executive Committee to consider allegations of excessive MPs' expenses claims, will decide whether he should be deselected as a candidate in the general election.  Mr Gibson was already preparing to stand down after he admitted using his parliamentary expenses to pay for his daughter’s London home — before selling it to her for half its market value.  Mr Gibson faces accusations of a cover-up after The Daily Telegraph found he spent almost £80,000 of taxpayers’ money on a west London flat that his daughter, Helen, shared with her boyfriend.  He said that the claims were legitimate, as he was staying at the address three nights a week, but acknowledged last night that the arrangement may seem "unfair" to voters.  But the Labour Party today announced that Mr Gibson had become the fourth MP to be referred to the special panel.  The panel is already looking into the cases of Elliot Morley, David Chaytor and Margaret Moran.  A party spokesman said: "The general secretary of the Labour Party, Ray Collins, and the Chief Whip, Nick Brown MP, have today referred Ian Gibson to the special NEC endorsements panel for urgent consideration. The panel will report back as soon as possible with recommendations to the Organisation Committee of the NEC on whether to remove Ian Gibson's endorsement to stand for election as a Labour Party candidate."  The Norwich MP had designated the London flat as his second home and successfully claimed for the mortgage interest, council tax and utility bills. But on Thursday night he conceded that he spent only three nights a week there while his daughter used it as her main residence.  This week, Mr Gibson published his expense details online, so constituents could examine his claims.  But, in the same way as Commons authorities are planning to do with all MPs’ expenses, he blacked out the key information.  By comparing his published receipts with the uncensored documents, The Daily Telegraph found how the MP was trying to cover up the arrangement.  Further investigations found that he had sold the property to his daughter and her boyfriend last year for just £162,000, about half the actual market value. Mr Gibson said he would offer to stand down as an MP at the next election.  The Daily Telegraph can also disclose that a Conservative MP has claimed second home expenses on a flat she bought that her daughter lives in.  Anne Main bought the flat in St Albans about 25 miles from her family’s detached main home in Beaconsfield.  Public records show that Mrs Main’s daughter, Claire, has lived at the property rent-free for up to three years.  Mrs Main’s daughter, a company director, has declared that the St Albans flat — which has cost the taxpayer more than £40,000 — is her “usual residential address” on corporate records. Mrs Main denied wrongdoing.  The disclosures will add to growing concerns over the public subsidy for flats claimed by MPs which are used by their children. The Daily Telegraph has already highlighted questionable claims made by two Liberal Democrat MPs, Andrew George and Phil Willis, regarding their daughters.  The Daily Telegraph has now published details of more than 180 MPs’ expense claims covering those made by the Cabinet, shadow Cabinet and back-bench MPs. The disclosures, based on uncensored expense claims, have sparked public outrage.
Ian Gibson, the senior Labour MP who claimed expenses on a flat where his    daughter was living, has been referred to the party's "star chamber"    over possible deselection.
