Police looking at allegations against MP Menzies

Lancashire Police have said they are reviewing information about allegations against suspended Tory MP Mark Menzies.

Labour wrote to police on Friday morning calling for an investigation.

The MP has been accused of misusing Tory funds and abusing his position after allegedly asking an activist for money to pay off "bad people".

He has had the Tory whip withdrawn, while the party carries out an investigation into the allegations, which he has said he "disputes".

The BBC has made several attempts to contact Mr Menzies but he has not so far responded.
