Tory MP David Warburton admitted to hospital after sexual harassment claims

Conservative MP David Warburton has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a parliamentary investigation was launched into his conduct, his wife has told the BBC.

His wife, Harriet, said he had severe shock and stress but had no further comment.

The Conservative whips office said Mr Warburton had been suspended while the investigation was ongoing.

The move followed allegations about his conduct in the Sunday Times.

Conservative sources said there were three allegations of sexual harassment and Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) was carrying out the investigation.

Mr Warburton has been MP for Somerton and Frome since 2015.
