AN employment tribunal hearing a case against a Euro MP has been adjourned.

The hearing, in Manchester, has been brought by Hilary Harris, who worked for North West MEP Dr John Whittaker.

Mrs Harris has brought a £30,000 claim for constructive dismissal against the UK Independence Party MEP.

She told the tribunal she had been pressurised to return to work after having a stroke.

After she had given her evidence, she was cross examined by a barrister representing Dr Whittaker, who is UKIP's national chairman.

Time ran out with Dr Whittaker and a party official yet to give evidence, so the tribunal was adjourned.

It will restart on Monday, December 17.
