Rishi Sunak has been urged to block suspended Tories from standing for the party in the next election.
Currently six former Tory MPs sit in the Commons as independents over disciplinary matters - including allegations of sexual assault, harassment and drug abuse.
It comes after Labour ’s ruling body, the National Executive Committee, this week stepped in to block Jeremy Corbyn from standing for Labour in the next election, after Keir Starmer withdrew the whip from his predecessor.
