A Welsh Conservative MP has been charged in connection with allegations over fraudulent expenses claims.

Chris Davies, MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, is accused of two offences of making a false instrument and one of providing false or misleading information for allowance claims.

The CPS said he was due to appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court in March.

It said the charges followed a review of evidence submitted by police.

Mr Davies was elected in 2015, winning the seat from the Liberal Democrats, and retained the seat in the 2017 election.

A CPS spokesperson said: "In November 2018, the Crown Prosecution Service received a file of evidence from the Metropolitan Police relating to an allegation that Christopher Davies, MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, falsified two invoices in support of Parliamentary expenses claims.

"Following a review of the evidence, the CPS has today charged Mr Davies with two offences of making a false instrument and one offence of providing false or misleading information for allowance claims.

"He will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 22 March."

The charges are:

• Forgery between 25 January 2016 and 11 March 2016
• Forgery between 28 March 2016 and 12 April 2016
• Providing false or misleading information for allowances claims between 6 and 11 March 2016.
