"Standards Watchdog Initiates Investigation into MP Miriam Cates of Penistone-Stocksbridge
Parliament's standards watchdog is investigating Conservative MP Miriam Cates, who represents Penistone and Stocksbridge.
She has been in office since 2019. While the specifics of the inquiry by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Daniel Greenberg, are under wraps, there are claims of her actions significantly tarnishing the House's reputation.
During the probe, details remain confidential, and the accused cannot discuss the allegations. Cates is known for her membership in the New Conservatives group and her advocacy for policies that support marriage and child-rearing, citing concerns over Britain's falling fertility rates.
She is among the eight MPs under investigation, a list that includes Deputy Speaker Dame Eleanor Laing, Sir Bernard Jenkin, and Reclaim MP Andrew Bridgen.
