Neil Parish named as Tory MP accused of watching porn in Commons

The 65-year-old farmer was suspended from the Tory whip on Friday afternoon following days of speculation over his identity. Two female colleagues made the claims against Mr Parish, who when asked about the then-unnamed MP in a TV interview earlier this week, said the whips would do "a thorough investigation".
