Prominent Labour MP faces driving ban for driving with expired MoT and insurance
On 6 July, Jon Cruddas, the MP for Dagenham and Rainham was stopped by police near Hyde Park in London after officers noticed what appeared to be a defective brake light, the Barking and Dagenham Post reports.
He has been summoned to appear before the City of London Magistrates’ Court later this month, where he could be given a driving ban, or considerable fines.
Ahead of the opening parliamentary session, the front bench Labour MP was appointed by party leader Ed Miliband as policy review co-ordinator and has launched a work programme to examine loneliness, mental health and welfare, areas where Labour want to compete with the Conservatives’ Big Society.
A Met police spokesman said: “A summons has been served, alleging driving without valid insurance and MoT in Bayswater Road by Jon Cruddas MP and is returnable to City of London Magistrates’ Court on October 26.”
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
