He is the latest in a line of Tory MPs to lose the party whip following allegations about their behaviour.
“The prime minister’s been clear about high standards. He expects high standards and he always follows due process. The statement said: “It has been reported that an MP was arrested yesterday in connection with an allegation of rape. “The arrest was unnecessary as I remain ready to co-operate fully with the investigation that I am confident will end without charge. “I do not intend to say anything further on this matter until the police have completed their inquiries.”
