Neil Parish, the Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton, has filed a complaint with the House of Commons over allegations that he watched pornography in the chamber.

Parish was submitting himself to the House of Commons Standards committee over the claims, according to a representative for the chief whip, Chris Heaton-Harris. "Parish has been suspended from the Conservative whip pending the outcome of that investigation," the spokesperson said. Watch: If a suspension of more than 10 days is suggested, he may face a recall petition, which might result in his removal as an MP.
