Tory MP investigated over alleged misuse of party funds

A Conservative MP has been suspended by the parliamentary party while it investigates claims he misused campaign funds.

Mark Menzies is alleged to have used thousands of pounds given by donors to fund medical expenses, according to The Times.

He is also alleged to have made a late-night call to an elderly aide asking for financial help because he had been locked up by "bad people" demanding money for his release, according to The Times.

Mr Menzies denies the claims.
