Vicky Pryce gave evidence to a parliamentary inquiry today - with no sign of her wearing an electronic tag.
The Greek-born economist, 60, said she was “feeling just fine” as she turned up in Parliament as she sought to rebuild her reputation after being jailed for perverting the course of justice.
Dressed in close-fitting black trousers, a pink and white striped shirt and black jacket, she arrived just before 10.45am.
The electronic tag which she is still understood to be obliged to wear seemed to have been discreetly hidden under her outfit.
She was released from prison in May after serving two months of an eight-month sentence for perverting the course of justice after taking speeding points for her then husband Chris Huhne.
She immediately announced that she was publishing a book on her experiences, with the title Prisonomics.
The former head of the government economic service was today giving evidence to a House of Lords inquiry into the eurozone crisis.
By contrast, Mr Huhne - who resigned from the Cabinet and as a Liberal Democrat MP after pleading guilty to the same offence - has kept a low profile since leaving jail.
There was no mention of Pryce’s prison experiences at the start of the hearing of the cross-party sub-committee on economic and financial affairs - where she said she could not see an immediate end to the crisis afflicting the single currency.
Structural reforms would take “far too long”, she said, advocating “decisive action” to tackle debt levels and a stimulus package including the European Central Bank being allowed to buy bonds.
There would be “no end to the crisis” unless those two things were done, she warned.
