A panel set up in the wake of the “Pestminster” scandal has concluded its first case by dismissing an appeal against the decision to clear a former Tory MP of sexual misconduct allegations.
Ross Thomson was cleared by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards in October following claims by former Labour MP Paul Sweeney, who said the Conservative had “groped” him in a Westminster bar in October 2018.
The Independent Expert Panel (IEP), established last year as part of a complaints process developed following a major report on bullying and harassment in the House of Commons by Dame Laura Cox, considered an appeal by Mr Sweeney against commissioner Kathryn Stone’s decision.
