A report into the behaviour of local MP Christopher Pincher said his conduct was “deeply inappropriate and shameful”.

The representative for the Tamworth constituency – which includes Shenstone, Fazeley and Stonnall – was investigated after complaints were made about him.

Mr Pincher had [previously resigned](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/conservative-mp-loses-party-whip-after-allegations-are-made-about-his-conduct/) as Conservative deputy chief whip saying he had “embarrassed” himself.

The House of Commons Committee on Standards has now recommended he is suspended for eight weeks after finding he had groped a man at a club.

The cross-party standards watchdog report said:

> “Sexual misconduct of this nature, by a serving senior member of the House in such a situation, also involves an abuse of power.  
>  
> “Mr Pincher was the Government Deputy Chief Whip at the time and therefore in a position of significant power and authority.  
>  
> “Mr Pincher’s conduct was completely inappropriate, profoundly damaging to the individuals concerned, and represented an abuse of power.”  
>  
> House of Commons Committee on Standards report

The suspension could now lead to a by-election in the MP’s constituency.
