You mean the first hit for googling "telegraph MP expense scandal" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/9815...

It's about "The police have re-opened their enquiry into the former MP Denis MacShane after he admitted submitting fake receipts to claim expenses.", which sounds a lot like your story.

So I'm guessing the guy you're looking for is Denis McShane.

No, but thanks for playing.

Specifically, there is no mention in that report of expenses claimed for public relations training.

Are you referring to this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5425...

I found this article as a link from the first result of: telegraph MP expense scandal "public relations" training (I added the quotes because lots of articles about MPs seemed to have "public" in them without mentioning "public relations").
