Guilty 'plebgate' officer to face misconduct hearing
Scotland Yard has said that PC Keith Wallis, who has admitted falsely claiming to have witnessed the Plebgate row, will face a misconduct hearing at the conclusion of all legal proceedings.
It will relate to "discreditable conduct, honesty and integrity, and/or improper disclosure of information".
