Police boss is called back to Parliament AGAIN over 'shoddy evidence and falsehoods' after banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from Aston Villa

A police chief has been told to go back to Parliament amid claims he provided 'shoddy evidence' while explaining the decision behind a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending an Aston Villa match last month.

The Home Affairs Select Committee has written to West Midlands Chief Constable Craig Guildford to provide 'further evidence' amid claims he misled MPs when he appeared in front of the committee on December 1.

Daily Mail understands it is the first time a Chief Constable has been recalled to Parliament in this way.

In 2013, two senior police officers - Detective Sergeant Stuart Hinton and Sergeant Chris Jones - were recalled to the Committee after providing 'misleading evidence' and were subsequently referred to the IPCC.
