A civil service union has warned that Parliament is not a “safe place to work” after a group of Conservative politicians reported a fellow MP to police over allegations they committed rape and a string of sexual assaults.
The backbench MP was reported to the force by a group of Tory MPs, whose claims against the accused span a period of two years, broadcasterTalkTV reports.
The MP is said to be subject to an investigation by an independent law firm. They have not, however, had the Conservative whip removed or been suspended by party chiefs.
Mike Clancy, the general secretary of Prospect union, says: “This MP remains free to visit the House of Commons and interact with staff despite these very serious allegations.
“This highlights yet again that there is no fit-for-purpose process in place to deal with this type of case and make Parliament a safe place to work.”
It comes after the Conservative party suffered its worst election result in Chester since 1832 after Labour retained the seat with an increased share of the vote.
‘World-class education’ is best way to reduce inequality, says Hancock
Matt Hancock has told the Commons the “best way to spread opportunity and reduce inequality in society is by providing every person with a world-class education”.
The former health secretary went on: “These are not my words but they’re the words of my right honourable friend the prime minister and I passionately agree with them.
“I agree with him that this should apply to all and my Bill represents the next step in turning these strong words into action. I’m delighted that the Bill has cross-party support.”
He added: “I firmly support the government’s approach to increase rigour and improving standards in our schools. That is at the heart of what this Bill will do.
“That drive over a decade is raising standards and with raised standards can raise opportunity and hope for children. And we’ve seen that improvement especially in the most deprived parts of our land.”
Hanock jokes its a ‘pleasure' to be ‘well-fed’ on return to Commons
Matt Hancock has made his first contribution in the House of Commons since his spell on the ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Before the former health secretary opened the second reading debate of his Dyslexia Screening and Teacher Training Bill, Commons Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans joked: “This is the third Bill of the day and I know Mr Hancock you appear to be making a habit of coming third these days, so...”
The now independent MP for West Suffolk said: “I am not quite sure what to make of that. But I am honoured to be third today and let’s see how that goes.
“But it’s also a pleasure to be here and to be clean and well-fed.”
