MP Eric Joyce will not face charges following his arrest over an alleged brawl in a House of Commons bar.

Scotland Yard said it would be taking no further action following the incident earlier this month.

"A man aged in his 50s, arrested on Thursday 14 March on suspicion of assault and ABH in connection with a disturbance in a bar within the House of Commons, and bailed to a central London police station has been released with no further action today," the Yard said in a statement.
