Cabinet minister interviewed by Essex police over allegations he passed speeding penalty points on to someone else Cabinet minister Chris Huhne and another person, believed to be his ex-wife, Vicky Pryce, have been interviewed by police over allegations he tried to pass speeding points on to someone else in March 2003.

At the weekend, Pryce piled further pressure on Huhne when she released a copy of her driving licence to a Sunday newspaper showing that she had received three points on 12 March 2003.
