Tory MP faces suspension from Parliament (updated)

Tory MP Derek Conway faces a 10-day suspension from the Commons after its standards watchdog said he paid his son too much from parliamentary allowances…

In its critical report, the committee ordered Mr Conway to repay “the overpaid bonus sums” of about £13,000 and pension contributions received by his son. [BBC]

UPDATE: The weight of opinion on Conservative Home appears to be that he should have the Conservative whip withdrawn.
