MP William Wragg has “voluntarily” given up the Conservative whip after he admitted giving his colleagues’ phone numbers to a suspected scammer he met on a dating app, a spokesperson for the Tory whips has said.
Mr Wragg will no longer sit as a Conservative MP following the decision, which comes after he resigned as vice-chairman of the 1922 Committee and from his role heading the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC).
