The former minister, 63, has identified himself as the man that Surrey Police detained in Horley
Senior MP Crispin Blunt has been suspended by the Tories after being arrested on suspicion of rape and the possession of controlled substances. The former minister, 63, identified himself as the man that Surrey Police detained in Horley on Wednesday morning, before his release on conditional bail.
Conservative chief whip Simon Hart told Mr Blunt to stay away from Parliament during the process, the PA news agency understands. After identifying himself, Mr Blunt had the whip suspended pending the outcome of the police investigation, meaning he is now an Independent. “I do not intend to say anything further on this matter until the police have completed their inquiries.”
The Tory Party has declined to comment on his arrest, first reported by The Sun, and would not say whether he has been asked to stay away from Parliament, as has happened in the past. Mr Blunt is the latest in a string of sitting MPs to be arrested on allegations of sexual offences.
