Pryce accused of 'cooking up' defence

The ex-wife of disgraced former MP Chris Huhne "cooked up" her defence after taking his speeding points as "a quick fix to an inconvenient problem", a court has heard.

Vicky Pryce, 60, is accused of perverting the course of justice by taking the driving penalty points for her then-husband in 2003, so he could avoid losing his licence. Huhne pled guilty to the same offence.
