Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans Faces More Claims

Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons Nigel Evans has been arrested on suspicion of three more counts of indecent assault.

The 55-year-old was formally informed of the new claims as he answered bail at Preston Police Station.

He already faced allegations he raped one man and sexually assaulted another between July 2009 and March 2013.

The MP strenuously denies the claims.

A Lancashire Constabulary spokesperson said: "He will be interviewed about these allegations at a police station in Lancashire during the course of the day.

"We take all allegations of a sexual nature extremely seriously and understand how difficult it can be for victims to have the confidence to come forward.

"As a Constabulary, we are committed to investigating sexual offences sensitively but robustly recognising the impact that these types of crimes have on victims.

"We would encourage anyone who has experienced sexual abuse, or who has information about it, to have the confidence to report it to us knowing that we will take it seriously, deal with it sensitively and investigate it thoroughly."

Speaking three days after his initial arrest on May 4, he said he was having "just a few days off chair duty" but would continue having his regular meetings with Speaker John Bercow.

He said he had been "overwhelmed" by the reaction from MPs and the amount of "sympathy" he had received from the public.
