A motorcyclist who died after crashing into a tree in Droitwich had not been pursued by police officers, an investigation has found.

Marlon Vella, 21, came off the road on Primsland Way at about 16:00 on 27 April 2020. At the same time, a West Mercia Police car was travelling in the same direction while responding to an emergency callout.

"Owing to the proximity of the police car at the time Mr Vella’s scooter crashed, it was appropriate that we investigated the full circumstances," Derrick Campbell, from the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), said.

The watchdog's investigation found the officer was a "significant distance" behind Mr Vella and had acted "in accordance with policies".

The debate on the proposal to suspend Owen Paterson is starting.

MPs will also get to vote on an amendment to overhaul the standards watchdog, put forward by the Conservative MP Andrea Leadsom.

Mr Paterson, the MP for North Shropshire, was found to have misused his position to benefit two companies he worked for, but the amendment could mean he avoids suspension from the Commons.

You can follow the progress of that debate on the BBC Politics Live page.

Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner asks the PM about the Owen Paterson case.

She says the North Shropshire MP broke the rules and accuses Boris Johnson of responding by "scrapping the independent process".

"In no other profession could someone be found guilty and just have their mates vote them back into the job," she adds.

"Paid lobbying is wrong," replies Mr Johnson, adding that "MPs found guilty of that should apologise".

However, he says the issue is whether the process gives MPs "a fair opportunity to make fair representations".

Turning a key route through the county into a dual carriageway could be one of Shropshire Council’s next major infrastructure projects after Shrewsbury's north west relief road, the councillor in charge of highways has said.

Dean Carroll says the authority has an obligation to consider dualling the A5 between Shrewsbury and the Welsh border at Chirk, in order to address serious concerns over the safety of the road.

He also believes the scheme would help boost economic growth by cutting congestion and improve transport links between the West Midlands and north Wales, the Republic of Ireland and north-west England.

Mr Carroll said the plan had been talked about for decades.

"The MPs – Owen Paterson and Daniel Kawczynski – have both been very keen on it and there is a lot of public support," he said.

"There has been support from the Oswestry area and from the Welsh as well, because it will make things a whole lot quicker-moving.

"In the long-term, we have got to explore whether it would be a project that provides the benefits that have been talked about.

"But it’s such a major part of Shropshire’s transport network that it would be negligent of us not to explore that and not to look at it."
