Dr Swire is not seriously ill

Mrs Jane Swire said she had spoke to her husband and he was not seriously ill.

She said: ‘‘I have spoken to him and he’s okay. I think he got to court without eating anything properly and his blood sugar levels must have been too low. Coupled with the emotion of it all, it’s taken its toll. He’s okay, he’s out of hospital and hopefully he will take life a bit more quietly today.’’
