It comes after a letter, obtained by The Mail On Sunday, accused an unnamed MP of numerous assaults.
The Deputy Prime Minister said he does not recognise reported claims that the Conservative Party did not properly deal with allegations of rape against one of its MPs.
But the Cabinet minister told the programme he did not “recognise in any form the idea that we covered up”.A letter obtained by the Mail On Sunday suggests that an unnamed MP had assaulted as many as five people with little to no consequence, with some allegations including several claims of rape. It is reported Sir Jake, whose office has been contacted by PA news agency for comment, wrote the letter shortly after leaving the chairman’s job in October 2022.
An excerpt from the letter reads: “There may have been five victims of X — who have been subject to a range of offences including multiple rapes.” During an interview with Times Radio, Mr Dowden said he had not sanctioned payments to victims while serving as chairman but that he could not rule out that it might have happened.
