'Plebgate' PC seeks £200,000 libel damages from MP Mitchell

The police officer at the centre of the "plebgate" row is seeking libel damages from former Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell of up to £200,000, court papers show.

PC Toby Rowland is suing Mr Mitchell for suggesting the officer was not telling the truth about the dispute at the gates of Downing Street in 2012.
