Labour has called for an MP to resign in the wake of a report criticised his conduct.

A House of Commons Committee on Standards review said Mr Pincher was drunk when he groped two men in June last year.

It has recommended he be suspended for eight weeks – a ban which could lead to a recall petition and by-election in his Tamworth constituency, which includes Shenstone, Stonnall and Fazeley.

The report said:

> “The serious and public nature of \[Mr Pincher’s\] misconduct means that his conduct has caused significant and lasting damage to the reputation and integrity of the House.”  
>  
> House of Commons Committee on Standards report

Angela Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, described his actions as shocking, saying Mr Pincher’s behaviour had gone unchecked for too long.

> “Chris Pincher’s actions are shocking, but what’s even worse is the way the Conservative party protected him – even promoting him despite a previous investigation into his conduct.  
>  
> “Chris Pincher should now do the decent thing and resign as an MP. The people of Tamworth and the surrounding villages deserve more from their parliamentary representative.”  
>  
> Angela Rayner

In a written submission to the standards commissioner the former Conservative deputy chief whip apologised to those affected by his actions.

> “I’m conscious of the effect the evening and the coverage must have had on all the parties involved, as well as on my own family.  
>  
> “I’m very sorry and apologise to them all, as I did the day I resigned from the government.”
