A Labour shadow minister has been suspended by the party over a complaint about his alleged conduct. 

Bambos Charalambous, the shadow Foreign Office minister and MP for Enfield Southgate, was subject to a formal complaint made to Labour’s independent complaints process.

Mr Charalambous, who said he will “co-operate fully” with the review, has had the whip removed and has been administratively suspended by the party.

Mr Charalambous tweeted: “I am aware that there is an allegation that requires investigation by the Labour Party. 

“It is right and proper that process is allowed to take place. I will cooperate fully and play my full part. 

“It is not appropriate to say anything further at this time.” 

Mr Charalambous has been contacted for comment.

It comes just over a week after the party suspended MP Geraint Davies following allegations of sexual harassment made by a number of women. Two formal complaints were subsequently submitted to Labour, including one by a sitting Labour MP.

Labour’s new complaints process, signed off at the party conference last autumn, covers all protected characteristics, including race, disability and sexuality, and all forms of discrimination.
