I realise it's in the Mail and some will say therefore bound to be a complete misrepresentation of the facts but it makes interesting reading:

Labour peer Lord Janner attended the House of Lords 634 times and voted 203 times even after his dementia diagnosis
Labour peer gave family control of his financial affairs in April 2009
Since then Lord Janner voted 203 times in Lords and attended 634 times
Also managed to claim £104,365 in taxpayer-funded allowances until 2013

If it were all true it wouldn't look very good would it.
I'd like to know how robust the process which led to this 'diagnosis' was and whether any such determination would offer similarly effective protection from prosecution for ordinary people, especially those who really aren't able to find their way into parliament and vote on numerous occasions in spite of their debilitating condition.
