    Huhne 'Speeding Points' File Goes To CPS

    Essex Police has handed over its file on Chris Huhne's speeding fine allegations to the Crown Prosecution Service.

    Officers have been investigating whether the Energy Secretary asked his now ex-wife Vicky Pryce to take speeding points when he was a Liberal Democrat MEP in 2003.

    In a statement, Essex Police said: "We have shared the material we received with the CPS and officers will meet with them to discuss this in the next few days as we said we would."

    It comes after the publishers of The Sunday Times dropped a High Court challenge to an Essex Police bid to obtain emails relating to the speeding allegations.

    Investigators were keen to see the correspondence between political editor Isabel Oakeshott and Ms Pryce.

    The move gave police the green light to peruse the emails and consider whether they could be evidence against the MP.

    Mr Huhne denies any wrongdoing regarding the allegations.

    Last Friday, a spokeswoman for David Cameron said the Prime Minister has confidence in the Energy Secretary.

    She declined to speculate on whether Mr Huhne would remain a minister if he is charged with any offence.

      'Denying any Wrongdoing', isn't the same as 'Not Guilty'. It only means that he doesn't see anything wrong in what he did.
      He has chosen his words carefully, so when he is found guilty, he can kid himself that he is still a man of honour........

      Yeah right......

      And about time too and what about his wife who must have commited the same crime if she covered for him, well you know what they say about a woman scorned but she has also put herself in the frame

      Charge the pair of them, him for speeding and her for attempting to pervert the course of justice....Can't see what the problem is. If he is convicted, he should be thrown out of Parliament without the usual pension and other benefits and a local election held. Simples..

      any minister who commits an offence and is proven guilty should forfeit the right to serve the honest constituents. And of course serve his full sentence.

      I feel that if he is this dishonest if found guilty he should have to resign his seat how can some one who breaks the law be an MP others were deselected over expences but carried on causing a lot of bitterness

      I often wonder why it all takes so long either the law was broken or it was not.

      The real scandal is the length of time this case has taken.
      The DPP is either grossly incompetent or he is deliberately delaying the process.Either way he should be sacked.
      I think we are about to see whether everyone really is equal under the law.

      Hopefully justice will be done, especially if found guilty of perverting the course of justice. Prison, where he can be comforted by his fellow inmates, especially at night
