SNP MP says he was wrongly pursued over bus fare fine

SNP MP Alan Brown has told the Commons that a case of mistaken identity led to him being threatened with court action over an unpaid London bus fare.

The MP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun said this was the result of an error by a company employed by Transport for London.

Replying, Commons leader Andrea Leadsom says he made a serious point but wondered why "so many people are called Alan Brown".
