MP asked 'sugar t***' secretary to buy bedroom toys

Sexual harassment; the words have become a constant within headlines with an increasing number of cases brought to public attention - the latest being a ‘dirty dossier’ exposing Members of Parliament.

Westminster researchers compiled a spreadsheet, titled ‘High libido MPs’, detailing allegations against almost 40 Conservative MPs including 15 current cabinet ministers and over 20 backbench MPs over the past five years.

The document, put together by both male and female researchers and seen by The Times, found that Mark Garnier, International Trade Minister is facing an investigation after he admitted to asking his secretary to purchase sex toys and called her ‘sugar tits’. He described the incident, which occurred in 2010 as ‘good-humoured high jinks.’

The allegations also named Stephen Crabb, former Work and Pensions Secretary, who apologised for engaging in ‘sexual chatter’ with a 19-year-old woman he interviewed for a job in his office in 2013.
