MP Soames' Crawley court hearing adjourned
EX-Crawley MP Nicholas Soames' appearence at Crawley Magistrates' Court has been adjourned.
The Tory MP, who now represents Mid Sussex, had been summonsed to Crawley Magistrates' Court in connection with footage, which allegedly shows him riding a quad bike on a public road with a child sitting behind him.
The child was filmed behind Soames, as he allegedly towed two more children in a trailer.
It is claimed that the children were not strapped in or wearing crash helmets.
The footage was shot by hunt saboteurs in Slaugham after a New Year's Day hunt.
Soames was been summonsed to appear before magistrates to face alleged insurance and safety offences under Section 40a of the Road Traffic Act.
But the case has now been pushed back to May 14 after Soames' legal team appealed for an adjournment.
