Lancashire PCC cleared of fraud

Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw will not face prosecution over his expenses when a Labour county councillor.

CPS lawyer Gemma Carsey said: “A file was submitted in October 2013, and all evidence received in mid-November 2013, in order for the CPS to consider if potential charges of fraud by false misrepresentation should be brought against Mr Clive Grunshaw. To prosecute this offence dishonesty must be proved. Our assessment is that there is insufficient evidence to show that any of these claims was submitted dishonestly. In all the circumstances of this case, therefore, we have concluded that no further action should be taken.”
