London Mayor: Labour reports Tory election leaflet to prosecutors
Labour has called for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to investigate whether a leaflet by the Tories' London mayoral candidate breached electoral law.
Lawyers for the party have written to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Stephen Parkinson, after Susan Hall's campaign sent yellow and black leaflets in the style of a penalty charge notice.
Labour said the leaflets were designed to look like penalty charge notices "to lure voters into opening them", while inside they contained claims Sadiq Khan was planning to introduce a pay-per-mile scheme for drivers - which the party says he has ruled out.
In response, a spokesperson for Ms Hall said the letter to the CPS was "desperate nonsense from Sadiq Khan's campaign" repeating their claim that Mr Khan intended to introduce the scheme if he was re-elected.
