Tory MP Neil Parish has been revealed as the MP under investigation for watching pornography in the House of Commons.

A spokesman for the Conservative Party Chief Whip said: “Having spoken to the chief whip this afternoon, Neil Parish MP is reporting himself to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.”

“Mr Parish has been suspended from the Conservative Whip pending the outcome of that investigation.”

The allegations against Mr Parish were first made by two female Tory MPs during a backbenchers’ meeting on Tuesday evening.

They told Conservative Chief Whip Chris Heaton-Harris, they had witnessed an MP watching porn on his phone in the Commons chamber and in a committee meeting.

Around 50 to 60 female Tory MPs are said to have been present at the meeting.

Mr Parish is now facing two investigations – one by Parliamentary Commissioner and another by the Independent Complaints and Grievances Scheme (ICGS).
