Former cabinet minister Peter Hain will not face charges over the late declaration of donations to his Labour deputy leadership bid.Mr Hain, who quit the government in January to clear his name, was investigated over £103,000 declared late to the Electoral Commission.Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to charge him with anything.Former Welsh Secretary Mr Hain said he was pleased, after "ten months in limbo" to be able to clear his name.On Friday Stephen O'Doherty of the Crown Prosecution Service said while donations were declared late, they could not prove Mr Hain, handled the unreported donations.
