The Press Association understands Clarke will move from Berkshire to west London and the deal is subject to personal terms.    

British Transport Police received a report at 08:46 of a suspicious person in Aldgate Tube station and people on Twitter reported seeing officers running in to deal with the situation. 

The station was evacuated and a search of the station was carried out but no-one was traced.  

Passengers were allowed back into the station shortly after 09:00, a police spokesman said.

The Metropolitan, Hammersmith and City and Circle lines were affected by the station closure but are now resuming normal service.

Ken Livingstone has "unreservedly apologised" after branding a Labour MP "disturbed", saying he should "seek psychiatric help".

A Labour defence spokesman, Kevan Jones, who has suffered from depression in the past, clashed with the former mayor of London over the party's policy on nuclear weapons.

Mr Jones said he found the words "gravely offensive" and Mr Livingstone originally refused to apologize.
