The ruling British Conservative Party has suspended one of its MPs pending an investigation into allegations that he viewed pornography on his mobile phone in the Chamber of Commons.
The identification of MP Neil Parish, 65, ended speculation since the allegation surfaced Tuesday amid allegations of a misogynistic atmosphere in Parliament.
“Having spoken to the Chief Whip this afternoon, Neil Parish MP is reporting himself to the Standards Committee of the House of Commons,” said a spokeswoman for Chief Whip Chris Heaton-Harris, who is in charge of party discipline.
“Mr Parish has been suspended from the Conservative whip pending the outcome of that investigation,” she said, meaning he has been temporarily suspended from the party.
