Former Tory MP Ross Thomson cleared in first ruling by new independent expert panel
A former MP has been cleared of sexual harassment alleged to have taken place several years ago in a House of Commons bar, in the first ruling by a new body set up to investigate potential misbehaviour by parliamentarians.
The claim against Ross Thomson, the Conservative MP for Aberdeen South from 2017 to 2019, was investigated and dismissed in an initial investigation, and a follow-up one by the commissioner for standards last year.
