English translation:Evidence
Explanation:
Given the context, MP is likely to stand for 'moyen de preuve'. Not aware of a customary abbreviation in English. Given that in the French the acronym appears to refer to a specific piece of evidence, 'supporting evidence' might add clarity.

To Chris: two shots at it, missed both times!
