A minority of men in politics “behave like animals”, Attorney General Suella Braverman has said, as female MPs share experiences of harassment.
Ms Braverman said the problem started in wider society and there needed to be a discussion about “moral standards”.
Her comments come as an unnamed minister accused a fellow Tory MP of watching inadequate videos in the Commons chamber.
Ex-minister Baroness Nicky Morgan described the claim as “a jaw-dropper” and said: “If this happened in any other working place somebody would be sacked for gross misconduct.”
However, she said the situation for MPs was different. “There are no employment contracts, nobody is going to take their job away from them – that gives MPs a feeling of invincibility.”
