Assistant Commissioner John Yates is among witnesses expected to be called before a committee of MPs which has decided to revive its own probe after no criminal charges resulted.

The public administration committee will resume its inquiry - suspended when the police were called in last year - following the summer recess.

In a statement the committee said: "At its meeting today, the Committee decided to resume its inquiry into propriety and the honours system.

It went on: "The police investigation has lasted much longer than was anticipated, and has now ended in a decision by the CPS that there are no grounds for prosecution. The police investigation has clearly been thorough and exhaustive, and they have had access to material that would not have been available to us.

"They have sought to keep the Committee informed about the progress of their inquiry. Now that the police investigation is concluded, the Committee is able to resume its own inquiry. Its purpose is not to continue the police inquiry by other means, but to consider the policy and regulatory issues that arise from it.

"We plan to hold evidence sessions after Parliament returns from its summer recess, and to report by the end of the year.

"Relevant witnesses are being identified. It is expected that one of them will be Assistant Commissioner John Yates, who expressed a willingness at the outset of his inquiry to discuss issues arising from it with us once it was concluded."
