Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner will not face a police investigation over claims she gave false information on official documents.

The MP had denied any wrongdoing relating to where she was registered as living after her marriage in 2010.

Tory MP James Daly asked Greater Manchester Police to investigate whether she had given false information or had broken electoral rules.

Police have found no evidence that any offence had been committed.

The complaint followed claims made in a book by Lord Ashcroft, a former Conservative Party deputy chairman, about Ms Rayner's ex-council house on Vicarage Road in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

Ms Rayner, nee Bowen, bought the semi-detached home in 2007, getting a 25% discount under the Right to Buy scheme introduced by former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The Mail on Sunday, which is serialising the book, has reported Ms Rayner was registered as living at Vicarage Road on the electoral roll until she sold the property in 2015.

But she appears to have given two different addresses when she re-registered the births of two of her children in 2010 following her marriage to Mark Rayner.

The other address listed, Lowndes Lane, is where her husband was registered as living, according to the newspaper.

James Daly is the MP for Bury North, while Angela Rayner represents Ashton-Under-Lyne, another Greater Manchester constituency.
