Jeremy Thorpe biography postponed
Time Warner Books UK (formerly known as Little, Brown) has halted publication of a biography of former Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe, believed to contain sensitive material about his controversial career.
Michael Bloch's biography, scheduled for publication in January,
has been postponed following a row about a disputed agreement not to publish during the lifetime of Mr Thorpe, who is now in his 70s and suffering from Parkinson's disease.
The publisher said: "Mr Thorpe has indicated that he would not welcome its publication at the present time. In view of his current state of health, Mr Bloch and Little, Brown have decided to postpone publication."
