A Tory MP who attended a stag party where a guest dressed as an SS officer has been sacked as a Commons aide.

Aidan Burley, 32, MP for Cannock Chase, had expressed "deep regret" at the "inappropriate" actions of guests at a French ski resort. But he was fired as a parliamentary private secretary to Transport Secretary Justine Greening after allegations were made that Mr Burley had hired the Nazi uniform worn by his friend.
