MP CHERYL Gillan has not breached the ministerial code over the sale of her Amersham house close to the proposed High Speed 2 route, it has been announced.
The Chesham and Amersham Parliamentarian had come under fire after national media reports at the weekend revealed she had sold her constituency home recently.

The sale happened before the Government approved the £33bn scheme last week.
The news angered campaigners, triggering further calls for her to resign as Welsh Secretary role.
Labour asked Prime Minister David Cameron to investigate if she had broken the Ministerial code.
But today Mrs Gillan's office revealed she has been found not to have breached the rules.
A brief statement confirmed: “The Prime Minister's official spokesman said this morning at the lobby briefing there has been no breach of the ministerial code.”
