Parliament’s standards watchdog has recommended an eight-week suspension for former Conservative MP Chris Pincher following allegations of assault. Pincher had resigned from his government position in June of last year after being accused of groping guests at the Carlton Club in London.

The report released by the standards watchdog states that they have found evidence that Pincher groped two individuals, and described the actions as unwanted, inappropriate, and upsetting. The recommendation for an eight-week suspension reflects the severity of the misconduct.
