Sir Lindsay Hoyle has said the reputation of the House of Commons can only be rebuilt if “bad eggs” are dealt with.

It comes as 56 MPs are facing accusations of sexual misconduct.

The Commons Speaker said those who work in Parliament should not feel alone or feel they have to suffer, as he highlighted there is support available.

He also said people should go straight to the police if a criminal offence has been committed.

Rape

The Conservatives also told the unnamed MP to stay away from Parliament while on bail for allegations including sexual assault, abuse of position of trust and misconduct in public office.

But the party was resisting calls to suspend and identify the Tory, who has only been publicly identified as a man in his 50s.

Policing minister Kit Malthouse said they have to be “sensitive” about anonymity for suspects under investigation, saying it can put “enormous strain on individuals” who ultimately do not face prosecution.

It was left to Dawn Butler MP to respond, she wrote: “Everyone in Parliament should be hysterical. Your workplace, which is also my workplace, has had people watching porn in the chamber, people allegedly taking drugs, and has had members who have been convicted for sexual assault. And there’s more under investigation.”

Everyone in Parliament should be hysterical.

Your workplace, which is also my workplace, has had people watching porn in the chamber, people allegedly taking drugs, and has had members who have been convicted for sexual assault.

And there's more under investigation.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
