London - The British Home Secretary, Mr Jack Straw, is to be questioned in parliament about the way the name of Mr Joe Ashton, a Labour MP, has now emerged in relation to a police raid on a Thai massage parlour more than three months ago.

Police have confirmed that a man was found on the premises in Northampton but refused to name him. He was not committing any crime, a spokesman said. The man involved was named as Mr Ashton in newspaper reports. Mr Ashton made no comment yesterday but his agent said he has consulted his solicitors and Labour Party headquarters.
