Nadine Dorries, a Member of Parliament, may face an investigation following claims that she sent “threatening” messages to civil servants after not receiving a peerage in Boris Johnson’s resignation honours list. Simon Case, the UK’s most senior civil servant, has referred Ms. Dorries to the Tory Chief Whip regarding these allegations.

During a session before the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee on Wednesday, Cabinet Secretary Simon Case revealed that he had brought the communications between Ms. Dorries and senior officials to the attention of both the Commons Speaker and the chief whip. Tory MP and committee chairman William Wragg asked Mr. Case if he was aware of any “rather forceful” or “threatening” messages sent by Ms. Dorries to senior civil servants, expressing her intention to use her platform in the Commons and on her television program to investigate why she was denied a peerage.
