Statement on resignation of Conservative Whip Lyrics
Panorama are planning to broadcast a programme alleging that I have broken parliamentary rules.
I am taking legal advice about these allegations and I have referred myself to the parliamentary commissioner for standards.
In the meantime, to save my party embarrassment, I have resigned the Conservative whip and have so informed Sir George Young. I have also decided not to stand at the next general election.
