Disgraced politician Keith Vaz reports MP to sleaze watchdog claiming they have harmed his reputation
He suggests North West Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen's complaint is outside the scope of the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner
DISGRACED politician Keith Vaz has reported a fellow MP to Parliament’s sleaze watchdog – accusing him of harming his reputation.
The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner (PSC) has opened an investigation over allegations Mr Vaz paid two rent boys for sex.
In a letter he highlights a section of the rules that says the commissioner cannot look into matters that are about their conduct “in their purely and personal lives”.
The married father of two quit as chair of the powerful Home Affairs Select Committee amid the allegations he paid for sex with a pair of Romanian escorts.
He reportedly told one he would pay for him to buy cocaine to bring to his flat.
Tory MP Andrew Bridgen wrote to Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe about the matter.
He suggested Mr Vaz may have engaged in “conspiracy to supply a controlled substance”.
He also called for an investigation into possible misconduct in public office.
