Senior Tory quits role as select committee chair and as vice chair of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservative MPs.
The Tory MP at the heart of a Westminster sexting scandal has stood down from two top Commons posts. William Wragg, the MP for Hazel Grove, has resigned as the chair of the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee and vice chair of the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs.
While some MPs have praised Mr Wragg for his apology, others have been less sympathetic and have called for Mr Wragg to have the party whip removed - which would force him to sit as an independent MP in the Commons.
