Please see statement below from Lord Rennard issued today:
“I am pleased that this brings to an end all investigations concerning allegations made against me on Channel 4 News last February.
The Metropolitan Police also investigated the allegations thoroughly and over several months and found that there was no case to proceed.
My wife Ann and I are very grateful to our families and many friends both inside and outside the Liberal Democrats who have shown unwavering support throughout.
We are particularly grateful to Alex Carlile QC, who helped us to ensure that justice was eventually done, and to Richard Cannon of Janes Solicitors who guided us through the police processes.
I now look forward to resuming my roles within the Liberal Democrats. I remain committed to the same values which made me join the Liberal Party as a teenager more than 40 years ago.”
