Nigel Waterson Cleared

Nigel Waterson MP has just issued this statement...

"The Police have now informed me that they are taking no further action in respect of the incident on 27th January. This is a relief but no surprise - I had done nothing wrong and assaulted no-one. I have not been charged with anything. We are especially grateful to all those friends and colleagues who have expressed their support. We have been very touched. My family and I have been victims of heavy-handed policing and gross media intrusion. Both matters are now the subject of official complaints to the Metropolitan Police and to the Press Complaints Commission. I would ask for no further intrusion into our private family life. I shall be making no further comment on these matters."
