An MP's son arrested on suspicion of drink-driving will face no further police action, it emerged today.
Damien Foster, 26, son of Hastings and Rye Labour MP Michael Foster, was arrested after being cut from the wreckage of his M-registration Vauxhall Calibra.
Police found him in the boot of the vehicle after it crashed into a parked car in Battle Road, St Leonards, early on January 5.
Mr Foster, a builder who lives at the family home in Wishing Tree Road, St Leonards, denied being behind the wheel.
He was arrested but released without charge after being quizzed at Hastings police station.
Hastings police said the matter had now been fully dealt with.
A spokesman said: "I can confirm that we are taking no further action against the man we arrested on suspicion of drink-driving just after the New Year."
Mr Foster Snr said: "I am of course pleased that the police have found that Damien was not the driver."
