More MPs investigated regarding expenses

Here we go again 'Six MPs and peers face fraud charges in British expenses scandal' and
'Tory MP David Curry quits key role amid expenses probe'.

What is interesting is the latter of the two links which relates to Jacqui Smith and Tony McNulty who were only asked to apologise for their 'mistakes' by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner. Here is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8303591.stm' Jacqui Smith's apology to the house of commons and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8303251.stm Guido Fawkes's interview with the BBC.

I wonder how David Cameron didn't know that Mr Curry, MP for Skipton and Ripon in North Yorkshire was thinking of resigning his post 2 months after taking on the job of chairman of Parliament's standards committee? Something seems strange here. Keep in mind that Jacqui Smith only gave her apology to the house of Commons last month.
