Closed petition Suspend any MPs accused of sexual offences pending investigations

Given the number of allegations occurring of a serious nature we believe there is the need for any MP or Minister formally accused of sexual offences to be suspended from the House, and any ministerial posts, pending the conclusion of all relevant investigations.

More details

To establish a formal process whereby any MP or Minister is suspended immediately from the House and any ministerial posts, pending completion of all relevant investigations - by the police, government or parliamentary authorities - so as to safeguard the public, and others within Parliament and Government.

The removal of an MP against whom allegations of this kind are made should not be a personal choice after a formal allegation is made, but a requirement.
