Former Conservative MP Teresa Gorman, a leading rebel over the Maastricht Treaty in the 1990s, has died aged 83, her family said. 

Ms Gorman went to school in Fulham, west London, and trained as a teacher before being elected to represent Billericay in Essex in 1987, a seat she held until 2001.

She was a prominent figure in the rebellions over Europe that nearly brought down John Major's government - having the Conservative whip withdrawn for refusing to back the EC Finance Bill in 1994. 

In recent years she shifted her allegiance to UKIP and voted for the party at the general election in May.

A former Chelsea Pensioner was today jailed for 12 months for sexually assaulting a young woman in his room.

Recorder Jonathan Davies at the same court told him: "There is no other way of dealing with this case than by immediate custodial sentence, I don't consider that that should be suspended."

The judge said when the offence took place Teegan was a Chelsea Pensioner: "a prestigious position which commands public respect".
