Hertfordshire County Council has "no current plans" to pull David Walliams' books from their library shelves, in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct.

Novels such as The Boy in a Dress, Gangster Granny and Mr Stink have been firm favourites with young readers.

And despite the allegations made against the author – which have been denied – they remain available at the county's network of libraries.

In response to an enquiry by the Local Democracy Reporting Service, a spokesperson for Hertfordshire County Council said: "We have no current plans to remove books by David Walliams from our library collections.

"As these titles are no longer being published, existing copies will continue to be managed in line with our usual stock policies and will be withdrawn from circulation as they become worn, damaged, or are no longer being borrowed."
