DAVID Cameron's Tories were plunged into scandal yesterday after an up-and-coming MP was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.
Andrew Bridgen, the married 46-year-old MP for North-West Leicestershire, right, was released on bail after being held by police in Westminster.
It is understood the alleged incident involved a 29-year-old woman and took place in the MP's flat in Pimlico, near the Commons. It is believed she was a parliamentary worker, but not in Bridgen's office.
Scotland Yard confirmed: "A 46-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault at an address in SW1 in the early hours of Thursday, June 9. The man has been bailed to return on a date in mid-July."
The arrest was another dent to the carefully burnished rebranding that Cameron has undertaken on the Conservative Party, who have a long history of sex scandals.
