National Party MP for Whanganui Chester Borrows has been charged with careless use of a motor vehicle causing injury to two people after an incident at an anti-TPP protest.
Police investigated a complaint about an incident in March this year, as Mr Borrows and Minister Paula Bennett left a breakfast meeting in Whanganui.
Mr Borrows' first court appearance is on Tuesday 2 August in the Whanganui District Court.
He said he intended to defend the charge but would be making no further comment as the matter was before the court.
