The prime minister said the Conservative Party had 'robust independent complaint procedures in place' but urged anyone with evidence of criminal acts to alert the police.
Rishi Sunak has responded for the first time to allegations that a Tory MP committed a series of rapes, saying the claims were 'very serious'. The prime minister urged anyone with evidence of criminal acts to talk to the police, as he faced questions about the accusations while on a visit to Norfolk. 'These are very serious, anonymous allegations,' he said.
Sir Jake had only become aware of the claims when he learned the party had paid for one of the alleged victims to receive treatment at a private hospital. His letter, written jointly with former chief whip Wendy Morton, another MP and a Downing Street official, also claimed the failure of others in the party to act had allowed the politician at the centre of the allegations to continue offending.
