A female MP has alleged that she was touched inappropriately by a male MP around 25 years older than her during an overseas visit.

She said the incident – reported to the party whips – happened on a trip to a European nation last year as party of all-party parliamentary group (APPG) visit.

“What I was struck by is how much alcohol was consumed – pretty much every night till two or three in the morning,” she told Politico.
