Peter Bone has had the Tory whip removed after a report found he committed acts of bullying and sexual misconduct.
A spokesman for Chief Whip Simon Hart said: "Following a report by the Independent Expert Panel, the Chief Whip has removed the conservative whip from Peter Bone MP."Yesterday he was recommended for a six-week suspension from the Commons after being found to have committed bullying and sexual misconduct against a staff member.
Mr Bone appealed against the decision, which was then upheld by a sub-panel of the IEP, which described it as a "serious case of misconduct" including "a deliberate and conscious abuse of power using a sexual mechanism".The sub-panel said: "The bullying involved violence, shouting and swearing, mocking, belittling and humiliating behaviour, and ostracism. It was often in front of others...The respondent specifically targeted the complainant.
