Claims ex-police and crime commissioner (PCC) Shaun Wright lied to MPs in parliament over the Rotherham child abuse scandal are to be sent to police.
The Home Affairs Select Committee said it would be referring two complaints to the Metropolitan Police.
Mr Wright resigned in 2014 in the wake of a report, which found at least 1,400 children were abused in the town from 1997 to 2013, after resisting pressure.

Mr Wright has not commented publicly on the claims.
