Reigate MP was arrested on suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances last October.

Crispin Blunt, who had the Tory whip withdrawn following the arrest, is re-bailed until April.

The Reigate MP confirms that he was arrested but says he is confident there will be no charge.

Conservative MP Crispin Blunt says the allegation from Mr Bridgen is "not correct".

Crispin Blunt should lose the whip for defending a fellow MP convicted of sex abuse, Labour says.

Mr Blunt, an MP for 25 years, says the last seven parliaments have been "increasingly tumultuous".

The former Tory minister had called Imran Khan's sex assault conviction "a miscarriage of justice".

Crispin Blunt said MP Imran Ahmad Khan's conviction for sexual assault was a "miscarriage of justice".
