But police have now decided to share details about their investigation with the tax authorities and her municipality.

The complaint was made almost a decade ago by Tory MP James Daly over her living conditions.

Greater Manchester Police said they are investigating the claims Mrs Rayner may have incorrectly registered her address on the electoral roll.

But they stated that matters relating to municipal tax and personal income tax do not fall under their jurisdiction.

A statement from the force said: “Following allegations about Angela Rayner MP, Greater Manchester Police has completed a thorough, carefully considered and proportionate investigation.

'We have concluded that no further police action will be taken.

“The investigation arose from complaints made directly to GMP by Mr James Daly MP.

“Subsequent further contact with GMP by members of the public, and claims from individuals featured in media reporting, indicated a strong public interest in the need to investigate allegations.

“Issues relating to council tax and personal income tax do not fall under the jurisdiction of the police.

“GMP has been in contact with Stockport Council and information about our investigation has been shared with them. Details of our investigation have also been shared with His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC).”
