Pak Sahafat – Following the moral scandal of the British legislators, the British media reported that the case of 56 representatives accused of sexual harassment has been referred to the Parliamentary Disciplinary Committee.
The Times of London reported on Sunday evening that the parliamentary committee had received 70 complaints against the MPs, ranging from allegations of sexual harassment to more serious violations.
Complaints against two members of the Scottish National Party accused of sexual harassment are the latest to be confirmed by a parliamentary official.
Patrick Grady and Patricia Gibson, senior members of the Scottish Local Party, are said to have recently been questioned by Parliament’s disciplinary committee.
Mr Grady, 42, allegedly touched a nightclub employee in a “disgusting” way. Ms. Gabsion is also accused of making inappropriate remarks to a male member of parliament.
The Scottish National Party has declined to comment. A spokesman for the Scottish National Party said: “In the current context of the investigation, it is not legally appropriate for us to comment.”
No further information is available on the identities of the other representatives accused of sexual harassment. But three days ago, a member of the Conservative ruling party, Imran Khan, resigned on charges of sexually harassing a 15-year-old boy.
Of course, the moral scandal of British lawmakers is not new, and three years ago it became a hot topic in the media.
