A MARRIED Labour MP is reportedly facing an investigation in the House of Commons over sexual harassment complaints.
According to The Sun, the male MP could face expulsion from Parliament over the probe.
The newspaper reports that the investigation is close to a conclusion.
The politician is thought to be involved in an investigation by Westminster's Independent Complaints Grievances Scheme.
The body deals with complaints of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct in Parliament.

The MP reportedly retains the party whip during the probe.
The Labour Party has refused to confirm or deny whether the investigation is taking place.
It comes just a week after Christina Rees had the whip suspended over bullying allegations.
A spokesperson for the House of Commons said: “We cannot confirm or deny any current investigations. Parliament’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) operates on the basis of confidentiality for the benefit of all parties.
“Therefore, we cannot provide any information on complaints or investigation, including whether or not a complaint has been received or whether an investigation is ongoing.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
