Police have searched the Commons office of MP Nigel Evans in relation to a "serious arrestable offence".

In a statement, Lancashire Police said they had searched offices in London in connection with an investigation, adding that they had "gone through all the appropriate and necessary procedures before taking this step".

Mr Bercow said he had consulted the attorney general and the solicitor general before granting the police's request and had also sought the advice of the Clerk of the House, who advises the Speaker on procedure and parliamentary privilege.
