The expulsion from the House of Commons for eight weeks of the former Minister for Europe and holder of various other government posts Chris Pincher recommended by the Parliament’s Immunity Committee.
The 53-year-old MP for Tamworth, who has been removed from the Conservative caucus, is accused of inappropriately and aggressively touching two men at a club frequented by politicians.
The incident took place last year in June, after an event of Cypriot interest in which Mr. Pincher had attended had ended in the same place.
His resignation as deputy chief of party discipline was seen by many as the beginning of Boris Johnson’s downfall, as it emerged that the then prime minister had appointed Mr Pincher to the cabinet despite being aware of earlier similar allegations. at the expense of.
The Immunity Committee found that Mr Pincher’s conduct was “grossly inappropriate, deeply harmful to the individuals involved and constitutes an abuse of power”.
Although the seasoned politician has announced he will not stand for the seat at the next election, if the full House of Commons adopts the motion for an eight-week suspension it will be possible to start a recall process by the voters of Tamworth. This would lead to a graft election process in the district.
