Former Labour member for Sheffield Hallam has parliamentary pass revoked by standards watchdog
The former Labour MP Jared O’Mara has been sanctioned by the House of Commons for an “abuse of power” and the sexual harassment of a former staffer, sending her “inappropriate messages and approaches”.
Parliament’s standards watchdog revoked the former Sheffield Hallam MP’s parliamentary pass, which he is entitled to hold as an ex-member. The complaint, made in July 2019, has taken almost two years to result in a sanction and is likely to prompt calls for the process to be made swifter for victims.
