BBC NEWS An MSP convicted over an anti-nuclear protest will not be struck off as a registered midwife.
Carolyn Leckie, Scottish Socialist Party MSP for Central Scotland, was arrested during a demonstration at Faslane naval base.
She was jailed for refusing to pay a £100 fine after being found guilty of a breach of the peace.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council confirmed that she will not be subject to disciplinary action.
Ms Leckie was jailed for seven days but only spent one night in Cornton Vale women's prison at the end of January.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council informed the former midwife by letter that she would be subject to a preliminary hearing because of her conviction.
Following a hearing, council members decided that there should be no further action taken.
Ms Leckie said on Saturday that she was delighted with the ruling.
She added: "I'd like to thank everyone who offered their support. I'm obviously pleased that the Nursing and Midwifery Council has taken the decision not to proceed any further.
"I had confidence in the professional judgement of the council and that has been borne out by their decision."
