Former Tory MP fights with estranged wife over money
Richard Harrington served as a minister in May government
A former Conservative minister is embroiled in a fight over money with his estranged wife.
Businessman Richard Harrington, who was MP for Watford, and his estranged wife Jessie were both at a hearing in the Central Family Court in London on Friday.
Judge Anne Hudd oversaw a hearing in private.
She said Mr and Mrs Harrington could be named in media reports but said no detail of the case could be revealed.
Mr Harrington, a former business minister, became MP for Watford in 2010 and stood down in late 2019.
He had been a critic of both Boris Johnson's and Theresa May's Brexit strategies.
