Labour has suspended the whip from Christian Matheson and asked him to stand down as an MP after the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards upheld two allegations of sexual misconduct against him, it is understood.
An independent panel on MPs’ conduct has recommended Mr Matheson be suspended from the Commons for four weeks for “serious sexual misconduct”.
A Labour spokesman said: “This is an incredibly serious case. There must be a zero tolerance for sexual harassment and the Labour party has acted immediately following the ICGS (Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme) findings.
