Conservative MP cleared of sex allegations returns to House of Commons

Conservative MP Andrew Rosindell today returned to the House commons to take the oath to the King.

It comes after he had been unable to vote or set foot in parliament for almost two years, having been arrested on suspicion of sexual offences.

He has now been cleared of all wrongdoing.

The Met Police said a “thorough investigation” had been carried out and the evidence threshold for criminal prosecution had not been met.

The force had received a report relating to alleged offences taking place in London between 2002 and 2009.
