Suspended Tory MP Chris Pincher says he is seeking 'professional medical support' after being accused of groping
Mr Johnson was facing questions over the delay in suspending the whip and why he appointed the MP to the key role despite past allegations.
Mr Cummings said Mr Johnson referred to the MP "laughingly in No 10 as 'Pincher by name, pincher by nature' long before appointing him".The Prime Minister had been resisting calls to act until the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme launched an investigation after receiving a formal complaint.
Further claims were levelled against Mr Pincher, with The Times reporting a young Tory activist receiving an unwanted sexual advance last year. Former Olympic rower and Conservative candidate Alex Story alleged Mr Pincher touched him while making an unwanted pass and using similar language.
