WILTSHIRE Police have closed an investigation into Chippenham MP Michelle Donelan, having found no evidence that she broke General Election spending rules. An investigation was launched following reports by the Daily Mirror and Channel 4 that Conservative MPs failed to declare expenses regarding the party's Battle Bus, which visited constituencies during the General Election last year. Police concluded that the Battle Bus in question did not visit Chippenham during the election campaign, despite receiving a number of complaints from members of the public.
