He had said: ‘The police have confirmed today that there is no evidence to support that allegation and closed their investigation. They did not even need to interview me to do so. ‘Yet the Whips Office now seems intent on continuing a witch hunt against me in an attempt to prevent my naming names.’In April he said he would step down at the next general election, adding: ‘I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that no job or political career is worth this.’
