Chris Pincher: MP facing 8-week ban over groping incident

MP Chris Pincher is facing an eight-week Commons suspension, after an inquiry found he groped two people at a London club last year.

In a report, Parliament's standards commissioner said his behaviour had been "completely inappropriate".

The recommended sanction will need to be endorsed by the whole House of Commons.

It will trigger a recall petition in his Tamworth constituency, potentially leading to a by-election.

Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said the commissioner's report was "shocking," and Mr Pincher should "do the decent thing and resign as an MP".

Mr Pincher was elected as a Conservative MP, but was suspended from representing the party in Parliament last year after the allegations emerged.

Boris Johnson's handling of the allegations led to the downfall of his government, after a wave of ministers resigned.
