A man has appeared in court to try to start a private prosecution against the home secretary over her expense claims.
Anthony Weaver, from Holborn in London, applied for a summons before a district judge in Jacqui Smith's constituency in Redditch, Worcestershire.
He alleges she defrauded the public purse of between £116,000 and £200,000 by claiming her main residence was her sister's London house.
The judge adjourned the case, advising Mr Weaver to contact Scotland Yard.
"I am not going to grant or dismiss the summons," said district judge Bruce Morgan, sitting at Redditch Magistrates' Court.
Surely, in the interest of justice Jacqui Smith should be removed from her post as Home Secretary because she is responsible for policing and her continued presence may hamper a proper investigation into her conduct?
