Chris Pincher has had the whip removed following claims that he drunkenly groped two men at a private members’ club in London, Downing Street sources said.
A formal complaint about the Tory MP's behaviour has been submitted to the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme and he is now the subject of an investigation.
A spokeswoman for Conservative chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris said: "Having heard that a formal complaint has been made to the ICGS, the PM has agreed with the Chief Whip that the whip should be suspended from Chris Pincher while the investigation is ongoing.
"We will not pre-judge that investigation. We urge colleagues and the media to respect that process."
