FORMER Labour minister Ivan Lewis was suspended yesterday by the party over allegations of sexual harassment.
The Bury South MP is under investigation by party officials after a number of women came forward with claims that he had made unwanted advances towards them.
A spokeswoman said: “The Labour Party takes all allegations of sexual harassment extremely seriously. Ivan Lewis is currently suspended from the Labour Party pending an investigation.”
