David Cameron has withdrawn the Tory whip from Derek Conway after the MP was reprimanded over the amount he paid his son for working as his researcher.

Mr Cameron took the decision to exclude Mr Conway from the Conservative group of MPs at Westminster after chief whip Patrick McLoughlin spoke to Mr Conway.

Mr Conway said the decision was "understandable, if not inevitable".

The decision was made as Mr Conway faces more scrutiny over his elder son and a possible police inquiry.

It follows a probe by the Commons Standards and Privileges Committee, which found that Mr Conway overpaid his younger son Freddie.

The committee said the MP should be forced to pay back up to £13,161 of the amount paid to his son and recommended he be suspended from the House of Commons for 10 days.
