Three cabinet ministers and two shadow cabinet ministers have been charged with sexual misconduct after being reported to the parliamentary oversight body set up after the #MeToo scandal.
They are among 56 MPs who have been targeted by the Independent Complaints and Complaints Scheme (ICGS) on about 70 individual complaints.
Charges related to the 56 include making sexually inappropriate comments and more serious offenses. At least one complaint is believed to involve crime and alleges that a member of parliament bribed a staff member in exchange for sexual services.

The revelations come weeks after Conser MP Imran Ahmad Khan resigned following his sentence of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008. Another Conservative MP, David Warburton, made the whip stop it.
