Police said a man in his 50s had been captured comparable to offenses said to have occurred somewhere in the range of 2002 and 2009. He has since been bailed.
Liz Truss offered the remarks to Sky News’ Kay Burley a day after the Met Police said the man, matured in his 50s, had been hung on doubt of profane attack, rape, assault, maltreatment of position of trust and unfortunate behavior in open office.
He has now been delivered on bail.
The MP, who has not been named, has been asked by the Tory boss whip to avoid parliament while the test proceeds.
Ms Truss said: “I’m extremely, worried about the reports that I have heard. Obviously this is a matter for the police.
“It is stressing that we are seeing these shocking allegations again about a parliamentarian.”
Work’s shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves required a survey of rules about whether individuals blamed for genuine violations ought to be permitted to enter the parliamentary bequest.
She told Sky News: “It is clearly amazingly worried that someone has been captured and presently bailed for assault, keeps on filling in as a MP – and in spite of the fact that he has been exhorted not to come to the House of Commons, my comprehension is that he is still allowed to enter the structure.
“There is an issue about the way of life of our legislative issues, about the verifying techniques, about who can be a MP and represent public office.
“Yet, parliament additionally has an obligation of care towards others who work in the structure and I’d be extremely concerned assuming this individual was as yet ready to come into the House of Commons.”
Ms Reeves said the whip ought to be removed from the MP and that there should have been a “take a gander at the standards around parliament and about whether someone blamed for such genuine wrongdoings ought to in any case have the option to enter the structure”.
She added: “This is anything but a unique case.”
Last month, Imran Ahmad Khan surrendered as a MP after he was viewed as at legitimate fault for physically attacking a 15-year-old kid.
The Sunday Times has detailed that 56 MPs face claims going from offering physically improper remarks to more genuine bad behavior.
The claims against the MP who has been captured cover a period somewhere in the range of 2002 and 2009 and are affirmed to have happened in London.
Police said they had gotten a report connecting with the cases in January 2020.
Squeezed about whether it was correct that a MP captured for assault ought to in any case have the Tory whip, Ms Truss said: “I believe it’s a matter for the police about whether that individual is named.
“I don’t have the foggiest idea what its identity is. I realize that the police are taking a gander at it and exploring it and I think we want to trust that the police will direct those examinations.
“I comprehend that this individual isn’t on the parliamentary bequest.”
A representative for the whips office said on Tuesday: “The central whip has asked that the MP concerned doesn’t go to the Parliamentary home while an examination is continuous.
“Until the finish of the examination we won’t remark further.”
It was perceived the Conservatives won’t pursue a choice on whether the suspect has the whip suspended until after the police examination is closed.
The Prospect association, which addresses many staff working in the Houses of Parliament, said firmer activity was required.
Garry Graham, delegate general secretary, said: “What will it take for parliament to at long last assume its liability to its staff and guests genuinely and suspend admittance to the home for parliamentarians being scrutinized for sexual offenses?
“Parliament has similar obligations towards its staff as some other working environment and it should satisfy them.”
