Labour MP Clive Betts was today handed down a seven-day suspension from the House of Commons for for breaching the parliamentary code of conduct by helping his researcher in an attempt to mislead immigration officials.
Mr Betts said that when he offered to employ Mr Gasparo, who he described as a close friend, he was aware that he had recently worked as a male escort but "genuinely believed [he] had given up his escort activities and was rehabilitating himself from that occupation".
Mr Betts said he told the immigration officer that the document had been altered, but the officer herself later told Sir Philip she could "most certainly recall" that she was not told this.
