Andrew Bridgen suspended from House of Commons over lobbying

Cross-party committee agrees with findings of Kathryn Stone that Conservative MP breached rules on multiple occasions

The Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen has been suspended from the House of Commons for five days after being found to have breached rules on paid lobbying and declaring interests.

The MP for north-west Leicestershire was found to have repeatedly broken the MPs' code of conduct by a cross-party committee, which endorsed findings from Kathryn Stone, the parliamentary commissioner for standards.
