Tory MP Andrew Bridgen is facing a Commons suspension after being told he has a "very cavalier attitude" to the rules. The Standards Committee advised a suspension of five sitting days for a series of lobbying breaches.
The offences included an “unacceptable attack upon the integrity” of standards commissioner Kathryn Stone. He called Ms Stone’s integrity into question on wholly unsubstantiated and false allegations and attempted to improperly influence the process, the cross-party committee said.
Their report read: "Mr Bridgen has demonstrated a very cavalier attitude to the House’s rules on registration and declaration of interests, including repeatedly saying that he did not check his own entry in the register."
