The politician, standing as an independent candidate in next week’s General Election, was accused three weeks ago of a sex attack last year.

Mr Danczuk, who was not arrested, went to a London police station voluntarily and said the claim was “wholly untrue”.

Police have told his lawyers Olliers “no further action is being taken in this matter and the case is complete”.
