A Tory politician faces being suspended from Parliament for six weeks after an independent panel found he sexually harassed a member of his staff.
Rob Roberts s former staffer told BBC Wales the Delyn MP repeatedly propositioned him and asked him to be less alluring .
MPs must now decide if they will back the sanction recommended by the independent panel, although Labour has called on Mr Roberts to resign.
He has been asked to comment.
Number 10 s official spokesman said Mr Roberts had had the Conservative whip suspended, meaning he now sits as an independent MP in the Commons.
