| Description | A justice minister has said he paid private detectives to investigate his colleagues because he was upset about "malicious" newspaper stories.
Tory Jonathan Djanogly said he felt his private life had been invaded during last year's expenses scandal, but conceded he may have overreacted.
The Telegraph revealed a copy of the report by Morris Chase International.
Local Tory Derek Holley, one of those targeted, said he was "very angry" and the MP should consider his position.
The report was gathered for the MP for Huntingdon when he was shadow solicitor general at the height of the expenses scandal in July 2009.
That month he got the backing of his local constituency party after a meeting called to "clear the air".
It followed various stories about Mr Djanogly's expenses - including that he claimed more than £13,000 for a cleaner who was also his au pair, an allegation he had denied.
