'CANNABIS LET-OFF' FOR STRAW SON

Jack Straw's son is set to receive a caution for possessing cannabis.

The Crown Prosecution Service will tomorrow tell police there is not enough
evidence to charge 17-year-old William Straw with supplying the drug.

The Home Secretary's son will escape a criminal record - but the caution
will be logged with the police.

He is likley to return to Kennington police station, South London, later
this week.

A source said : "If cautioned he will have to admit the offence."

Reporter Dawn Alford - who was allegedly sold cannabis by William - will
escape further action after her arrest for possession.

Oxford University yesterday said that William's offer of a place to study
at New College next year is safe.
