Tory arrested in 'leak' probe
A member of David Cameron's Tory frontbench team has been arrested, the party has disclosed.
Conservative immigration spokesman Damian Green, MP for Ashford in Kent, was arrested on Thursday afternoon at his home and taken for questioning at a central London police station.
He has not been charged with any offence.
It is understood the arrest came in connection with allegedly leaked information relating to stories which have appeared recently in the media about immigration.
Mr Cameron was said to be supportive of his MP and angry at the way in which the case has been handled.
Mr Green denies any wrongdoing and remains in his post, said a Conservative Party spokesman.
