Three cabinet ministers are among more than 50 MPs reportedly facing allegations of sexual misconduct after being referred to a parliamentary watchdog.
A total of 56 MPs, including two Labour shadow cabinet ministers, have been reported to the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS), it's emerged.
The figure is thought to include two SNP MPs, Partick Grady and Patricia Gibson, who have had complaints against them upheld by the parliamentary body.
Grady and Gibson are believed to have received the findings of an independent probe and asked to respond after claims that first emerged in the Daily Record.
The ICGS, which is understood to be handling 70 separate complaints dating back to 2018, was set up in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
The 56 MPs have not been named.
At least one of the complaints made to the watchdog is believed to relate to a criminal offence, according to the Sunday Times.
Conservative Party chairman Oliver Dowden said Westminster is a "safe place to be a woman" despite the soaring number of allegations of sexual misconduct being reported.
Speaking on Sky News' Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme, he added: "I think actually we've made big improvements over the past 20 or 30 years."
