An MP who made repeated unwanted sexual advances to a member of staff faces a six-week suspension from the Commons.
Rob Roberts was stripped of the Tory whip after a complaints panel found he abused his position of authority and broke Parliament’s sexual misconduct policy.
The disgraced MP apologised and said the “breach of trust” was “completely improper and should not have happened”.
The Independent Expert Panel (IEP) found that Mr Roberts made repeated and unwanted advances towards the man, although the MP insisted his actions were “romantic” rather than sexual.
The suspension will only be imposed if it is approved by MPs and a loophole means Mr Roberts may escape the prospect of his constituents forcing a by-election despite the serious punishment.
