Police Commissioner Steve White today wrote to the force's Chief Constable, Jo Farrell, asking her to see if any rules were broken when Mr Cummings visited County Durham at the end of March.

Retired teacher Robin Lees, 71, reported Mr Cummings to police yesterday after insisting he saw the top aide out in Barnard Castle - 30 miles from where he had stayed for two weeks - on April 12.

A witness also told the Sunday Mirror they saw Mr Cummings walking in County Durham on April 19, days after he returned to work in London. Ministers have flatly denied he made a second trip up north.

It will now be up to police to decide whether to launch an investigation.

This isn't going away any time soon. Reports on social media today of Tory MPs inboxes bursting with complaints about Cummings' non-dismissal, and many MPs (including some Cabinet ministers) have gone public with their disgust/disapproval.
