The speaker of the UK's House of Commons Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, was branded a “publicity-mad loony” by No 10 officials for fuelling conspiracy theories about the death of Princess according to newly released official files.

In the summer of 1998, Mr Hoyle sought to press Tony Blair over the supposed involvement of “British security agents” in Paris on the night the previous year when Diana and her lover, Dodi Fayed, were killed in a car crash.
