The parliamentary standards commissioner has denied reports that a Scottish National party MP has been cleared of bullying the former cabinet minister Nadine Dorries and said the investigation is ongoing.

The SNP’s culture spokesperson, John Nicolson, was reported – including by the Guardian – to have been cleared of cyberbullying after a six-month long investigation by parliament’s independent complaints and grievance scheme (ICGS).
