EmailFormer Cabinet minister Chris Huhne and his ex-wife are to stand trial next Monday at Southwark Crown Court over claims she took speeding points for him so he could avoid prosecution.
Mr Huhne and his former wife Vicky Pryce were both charged last year with perverting the course of justice over the allegation, said to relate to a speeding offence in 2003.
Ms Pryce previously pleaded not guilty on the grounds of marital coercion and Mr Huhne today entered a not guilty plea to the charge.
