Katie Fieldhouse, 78, tells Sky News it is for the Fylde MP's 'conscience' and the party to decide if he should resign from the Commons.
A Tory activist who reported an MP over claims he misused party funds has told Sky News she is disappointed by the way her complaint has been handled. Mark Menzies voluntarily quit the Conservative parliamentary party this week after a report in The Times claimed he called his ex-campaign manager Katie Fieldhouse, 78, early one day to say he was locked in a flat by 'bad people' and needed £5,000 as a matter of 'life and death'.
' Asked if she was disappointed with the way the complaint was being handled, she said: 'Yes.' And asked if Mr Menzies should step down, she added: 'It is for his conscience and the party to deal with. I have put my faith in the party, it is for them to deal with it.
