Chris Matheson, a Labour MP, is facing a four-week suspension from the House of Commons after “unwanted and unwelcome sexual advances” towards a junior member of staff.
A panel of parliament’s bullying and harassment watchdog, as well as the standards commissioner, found Matheson had breached the sexual misconduct policy of the House of Commons.
The independent expert panel (IEP) subsequently recommended that he is suspended from parliament for four weeks – a decision that will have to be ratified by fellow MPs.
The severity of the case means he could face a recall petition from his constituents, potentially triggering a byelection.
