Chris Huhne in election funds probe

The Electoral Commission is to investigate Cabinet minister Chris Huhne's election expenses.

The watchdog said it had started a case review after receiving an allegation about the Liberal Democrat Energy Secretary's 2010 general election expenses.

On Friday the commission said there was insufficient evidence to substantiate a similar allegation made against Mr Huhne, who is also the subject of a police inquiry into claims that he dodged punishment for speeding.
