UK politics: Tory HQ resists calls to refer Menzies allegations to police – as it happened

Internal investigation under way but party has not announced that police have been called in

During questions in the Commons on next week's business, Penny Mordaunt, leader of the house, said that MPs would debate the latest Lords amendments to the Rwanda bill on Monday and that, if necessary, time would also be set aside on Tuesday for MPs to vote again on Lords amendments to the bill.

Our intention is to get this passed on Monday such that we can then set out the timetable for getting flights off as soon as possible.
