Conservative MP Nigel Evans told ITV News the "trauma" of his trial for sexual assault made him realise the "first-hand consequences" of cutting legal aid. He said he "might" have voted for the cuts, but now understood the problems they could create.
A Conservative MP has denied she pushed two men to go the police with allegations against former deputy speaker Nigel Evans, and says Westminster is "turning a blind eye" to harassment claims.
Writing for the Daily Telegraph, Dr Sarah Wollaston said she made the offer to step down to the two complainants if they felt she had "pressured them to take the complaint forward".
The Totnes MP raised allegations linked to Mr Evans with Speaker John Bercow before complaints were lodged with the police.
She says she has faced "rank hostility" since the Ribble Valley MP was acquitted of a string of sexual offence charges last week.
Mr Evans, who currently sits as an independent, noted in an interview with the Daily Mail of Dr Wollaston: "It was mentioned to her as a throwaway remark yet she pursued it. For whatever reason, she decided to have it in for me."
