THE Tories have removed the whip from MP Julian Knight after a complaint was made to the Metropolitan Police, the party has said.
Mr Knight no longer sits in the House of Commons as a Conservative, after the complaint was made on Wednesday.
The MP is the chairman of the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee and has represented Solihull in the West Midlands since 2015.
A spokeswoman for Chief Whip Simon Hart said: "Following a complaint made to the Metropolitan Police this evening, we have removed the whip from Julian Knight MP with immediate effect."
She declined to comment on the nature of the complaint now it is under investigation.
