At the 1999 European Parliament election, he was elected from third position on the Conservative Party list in the East of England In 2004, Khanbhai repaid £7,000 of wrongly claimed travel expenses; although he lived in Sevenoaks, Kent, he had registered a boatyard in Wroxham as his home address. In light of this expenses scandal, he was deselected by his party, and did not stand in the 2004 election. He subsequently claimed that he had been treated differently from other Conservative MEPs in similar positions, ascribing this to racist elements within the party.[2][3] References1. ^Priya Srinivasan, "Euro MP of Indian origin to work for pro-Third-World tariffs", Rediff, 23 June 1999 {{DEFAULTSORT:Khanbhai, Bashir}}{{UK-MEP-stub}}2. ^"Expenses probe MEP is deselected", BBC News, 12 May 2004 3. ^Antony Barnett, "[https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2004/may/23/uk.eu Muslim Tory MEP slams 'racist' party]", The Guardian, 23 May 2004 10 : 1945 births|Living people|Alumni of the UCL School of Pharmacy|Alumni of Balliol College, Oxford|Conservative Party (UK) MEPs|Members of the European Parliament for English constituencies|MEPs for the United Kingdom 1999–2004|Tanzanian emigrants to the United Kingdom|People from Tanga, Tanzania|British politicians of Indian descent |
