MPs have agreed to suspend Andrew Bridgen, who was found to have breached the MPs' code of conduct in November.
He emailed the commissioner shortly after the investigation started and implied she could be swayed with a peerage as he claimed he heard a"rumour" she would only receive one if she ruled against him because he was an outspoken critic of the-then prime minister
"Clearly my own travails with Number 10 and the former PM have been well documented and obviously a small part of me is naturally concerned to hear such rumours."Andrew Bridgen was an outspoken critic of Boris Johnson and called on him to resign as early as February 2022 Mr Bridgen said he decided to not take payment from the company or to undertake his duties a year and a half after accepting the role, but the committee said he did not amend the contract or have any written exchange with the company to confirm that.
