POLITICS: Cash for honours investigation / Des Smith not charged:

He was the first person to be arrested in Scotland Yard's cash-for-honours investigation, but prosecutors have decided there isn't enough evidence to charge him with any offence.

Since then, the police inquiry has reached into the heart of Ten Downing Street, with the Prime Minister questioned and two of his closest aides arrested.
