Expenses clampdown switches to Lords
The Eames Report, which follows controversies over lobbying and allowances, will propose an overhaul of the Lords' code of conduct.
It comes amid reports suggesting that peers, like MPs, will soon face a clampdown on their expenses claims and will, for the first time, be asked to provide receipts.
Among the controversies to shake confidence in the Upper House was the suspension of Lord Truscott and Lord Taylor of Blackburn for offering to lobby to change the law in return for cash.
Further allegations over expenses claims by Baroness Uddin, Lord Clarke of Hampstead and Lord Taylor of Warwick are still being investigated by police.
The code of conduct requires peers to "act always on their personal honour" and observe the principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.
Meanwhile, a separate report by the Commons Standards and Privileges Committee is expected to rebuke Labour's former Home Office minister Tony McNulty for claiming second home expenses on a house where his parents lived.
Mr McNulty will reportedly be ordered to repay around £13,000 and apologise to the Commons.
He claimed a total of £60,000 in expenses on the north-west London house - which he owns - after moving to his new wife's home when they married in 2002.
He insisted he had not broken the rules, as he continued to use the house as a base when working in his Harrow constituency at weekends.
Tributes have been paid to a schoolgirl who died after slipping in her high heels and falling under a train while waving goodbye to her friends.
