Three peers are facing lengthy suspensions from Parliament after sleaze inquiries found they had wrongly claimed tens of thousands of pounds in expenses.
In damning judgments, the House of Lords Privileges and Conduct Committee said Baroness Uddin, Lord Bhatia and Lord Paul should repay nearly £200,000 between them.
Labour peer Lady Uddin and crossbencher Lord Bhatia were said to have acted "not in good faith" by incorrectly declaring their main homes in order to claim generous overnight allowances.
The committee recommended Lady Uddin be suspended from the upper chamber until the end of the parliamentary session in Easter 2012, as well as returning £125,349.10.
Lord Bhatia faces being sidelined for eight months, and has already repaid more than £27,000.
An initial investigation decided that Lord Paul, another Labour peer, had also acted "not in good faith" in his home designations.
However, the committee rejected this finding on appeal, accepting that although "utterly unreasonable" and "negligent", he had not been "dishonest", and had already returned £41,982 last year.
It recommended he be suspended for four months.
The House of Lords will debate whether to accept the committee's findings on Thursday.
But the leader of the upper chamber, Lord Strathclyde, said he was "shocked and appalled" by the cases - which came to light through reports in the Sunday Times.
