The Greater Manchester Police has announced it is taking no further action over allegations concerning Angela Rayner’s living arrangements before she was an MP.
Questions had been raised over whether the Labour deputy leader owed tax on a house she sold in 2015, and if she registered to vote at the correct address.
Rayne had promised to step down if she was found to have committed a criminal offence, and insisted she had followed the rules at all times.
Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation earlier this month into whether “any offences have been committed”.
