A Conservative MP has been arrested on suspicion of rape and the possession of controlled substances.

The Tory party has declined to comment on the arrest, first reported by The Sun.

The police were unable to say if the controlled substances were drugs, as tests are being carried out.

It is the latest in a string of arrests of sitting MPs.

A police spokesman said: “We can confirm a man was arrested yesterday morning (October 25)… on suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances.

“He has been released on conditional police bail pending further inquiries.”
