Neither were seriously hurt. The shop has been sealed off and a vet has been called. David Cameron is visiting the area to see the damage recent floods have caused.

Baroness Warsi guilty of only a "minor" breach of the ministerial code

I asked Sir Alex Allan to look into allegations that Baroness Warsi had breached the ministerial code. He has reported back to me and I am satisfied with the conclusion he has reached that at no point did she use her office for any personal financial gain. He found that while there was a breach of the code it was a minor one for which Baroness Warsi has already apologised. Baroness Warsi is a great asset in building our reputation overseas and representing the British Government abroad in her role as Minister without Portfolio."
