Huhne’s ex-wife: I was pressurised to have abortion

Disgraced MP Chris Huhne pressured his ex-wife into having an abortion because it was “bad timing”, she told a court.

Vicky Pryce said she fell pregnant in 1990 while married to the former energy secretary, but he encouraged her to terminate the pregnancy.

Pryce is giving evidence at Southwark Crown Court, in London, where she denies perverting the course of justice by accepting Huhne’s speeding points in 2003.
