Former Tory minister Peter Bone has been kicked out of the parliamentary party after a report found he committed acts of bullying and sexual misconduct.
Mr Bone has lost the Conservative whip - meaning he will have to sit as an independent MP.
A spokesperson for Chief Whip Simon Hart said: "Following a report by the Independent Expert Panel (IEP), the Chief Whip has removed the Conservative whip from Peter Bone MP."

On Monday, a report by parliament's IEP found Mr Bone "trapped" a member of staff in a room where he exposed himself - in what the panel said was a "deliberate and conscious abuse of power".
Mr Bone, the MP for Wellingborough, "committed many varied acts of bullying and one act of sexual misconduct" against the staff member in 2012 and 2013, the panel said.
It recommended that he be suspended from the House of Commons for six weeks - paving the way for another potential by-election and headache for Rishi Sunak.
Mr Bone said the allegations are "false and untrue" and "without foundation" as he vowed to continue representing his constituents.
Mr Bone was made deputy leader of the Commons in 2022 in the final days of Boris Johnson's administration.
The Liberal Democrats have demanded an inquiry into what the former prime minister and other senior figures knew about the allegations Mr Bone faced at the time he was given the frontbench role.
