Complaint upheld over caution for man who gave MP prescription-only pills
South Wales Police has been asked to re-examine why it treated a man who was cautioned for supplying diazepam to an MP differently to the politician himself.
Evidence suggests an "inconsistency in the manner in which you were dealt with by South Wales Police, following your admission of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug, and Mr Doughty's apparent acknowledgement regarding obtaining a controlled drug, which did not result in further investigative lines of enquiry".
Mr Doughty denied Mr Long's claim that he gave him pills at up to 20 meetings in a Cardiff coffee shop, saying it only happened once.Via a spokesperson, he said at the time that he asked his "friend" Mr Long for "a few spare diazepam" in 2019 ahead of a flight because he had not been able to see a GP.
"Stephen was selected by members of the local Labour party, not by me, and elected by the constituents of Cardiff South and Penarth.
