Truss calls for culture change as rape suspect MP is bailed

The Foreign Secretary urged a culture change yesterday as Boris Johnson said he was "shocked" at allegations concerning the unnamed MP.

The MP, in his 50s, was held on suspicion of rape and sexual assault spanning a seven-year period. Accusations also include abuse of trust and misconduct in public office.

He was released on police bail yesterday.

The arrest comes amid fresh Westminster sleaze scrutiny, after a string of cases.

Ms Truss said: "I certainly think that the culture of the House of Commons has changed and needs to change further. There needs to be more to be done to professionalise the way the House of Commons works. I would agree with that.
