工党议员梅拉妮·奥恩致信英国改革党主席，对北林肯郡一名地方议员据称被捕一事表示担忧。
Labour MP Melanie Onn has written to the chairman of Reform UK raising concerns over the alleged arrest of one of its local councillors in North East Lincolnshire.
她在致李·安德森的信中写道，这封信已发布在Facebook上。梅拉妮·奥恩表示，她了解议员詹姆斯·索金斯“正面临警方持续调查，且刑事程序已在治安法院立案”。
In her letter to Lee Anderson, which she posted on Facebook, Melanie Onn said she understands that councillor James Sawkins "is subject to an ongoing police investigation and that criminal proceedings have been listed before the magistrates' court".
奥恩询问英国改革党是否知晓此次逮捕，以及该党是否“已考虑针对他在党内及议会职责采取适当的临时措施”。
Onn asks if Reform UK were aware of the arrest and whether the party has "considered appropriate interim measures in relation to his party and council responsibilities".
英国改革党发言人表示，索金斯尚未被起诉，并称“我们理解相关指控涉及第三方”。发言人补充说：“因此，他仍然是英国改革党的议员。”
A Reform UK spokesperson said Sawkins had not been charged and "understand the allegations concern a third party". "He therefore remains a Reform UK councillor," the spokesperson said.
亨伯赛德警方表示，在接到有关无证药品销售报告的报案后，一名男子和一名女子已被逮捕。
Humberside Police said a man and a woman had been arrested after officers received reports of the sale of unlicenced medicines.
警方称，其警员于9月11日星期五，根据《警察与刑事证据法》在格里姆斯比的亚布罗路和沃尔瑟姆的格兰奇巷两处住所执行了搜查令。进入住所后，警方发现并查获了大量无证处方药和A类毒品。
The force said its officers conducted two Police and Criminal Evidence Act warrants at properties on Yarbrough Road in Grimsby and Grange Close in Waltham on Friday, 11 September. Upon entry a quantity of unlicenced prescription drugs and class A drugs were located and seized.
警方在一份声明中表示：“一名43岁男子因涉嫌藏匿犯罪所得、蓄意施用有毒物质、提供未经授权的医疗产品以及持有A类毒品而被捕。
In a statement, the force said: "A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of concealing criminal property, administering a noxious substance with intent, supplying an unauthorised medical product and possession of class A drugs.
“一名43岁女子也因涉嫌藏匿犯罪所得、蓄意施用有毒物质以及提供未经授权的医疗产品而被捕。
"A 43-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of concealing criminal property, administering a noxious substance with intent and supplying an unauthorised medical product.
“目前，两人在调查期间已被有条件保释。”索金斯是该议会“更安全、更强大社区”事务的负责人，BBC已联系他寻求评论。
"Both have since been conditionally bailed while inquiries are ongoing." Sawkins is the council's portfolio holder for Safer and Stronger Communities and has been contacted by the BBC for comment.
奥恩在信中写道，她是大格里姆斯比和克利索普斯的议员：“我对这些指控的实质或相关程序应有的结果不作评论。”
In her letter, Onn, who is MP for Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes, wrote: "I make no comment on the merits of the allegations or the proper outcome of those proceedings.
如果改革英国党（Reform UK）知情，为何该议员未被暂停职务，以等待调查和司法程序的结果？
"If Reform UK was aware, why was the councillor not suspended pending the outcome of the investigation and legal process?
“在警方调查仍在进行期间，这构成严重的利益冲突，并可能损害我们地方政府的声誉。”自奥恩（Onn）的信件被公开以来，东北林肯郡保守党团体在Facebook上表示，他们对相关报道“深感担忧”，并指出“改革英国党及议会领袖奥利弗·弗里斯顿（Oliver Freeston）需要对此作出合情合理且重要的回应”。
"This is a serious conflict of interest while this police investigation is ongoing and risks bringing our local authority into disrepute." Since Onn's letter was made public, North East Lincolnshire Conservative Group posted on Facebook that it was "gravely concerned" by the reports and there was a "legitimate and important question for Reform UK and council leader Oliver Freeston to answer".
声明还补充道：“索金斯（Sawkins）议员所负责的职务涉及与建设更安全、更强大社区直接相关的事项。”东北林肯郡议会已就此事被联系以寻求评论。
The statement added: "The portfolio held by councillor Sawkins covers matters directly connected with safer and stronger communities." North East Lincolnshire Council has been contacted for comment.
