Tory MP Neil Parish investigated over claims he watched porn in Commons
The Conservative MP accused of watching pornography in The House of Commons chamber has been named as Neil Parish .
He has been suspended from the parliamentary party and is under investigation by Parliament's standards commissioner.
Two female colleagues complained earlier This Week after allegedly seeing him looking at Adult Content on his phone while sitting near them.
Mr Parish said he had referred himself for investigation.
If the standards commissioner, Kathryn Stone , finds that he has violated The Code of conduct for MPs, possible sanctions range from having to make an apology to The Commons to suspension or expulsion.
Questioned by The Bbc , Mr Parish said: " I will fully co-operate with [The Inquiry ] And Then be answerable to Parliament. "
Asked if he admitted the allegations, he replied: " I'm going to await [Ms Stone's] findings. "
, Mr Parish said he would " continue to perform my duties as MP for Tiverton and Honiton" whilst The Investigation was ongoing.
Veteran Labour MP and former deputy party leader Harriet Harman told The Bbc the allegations marked a " New Low for The House of Commons".
She Said Mr Parish should Stand Down as an MP immediately if he watched porn in Parliament, adding: " It's not right for him to go through The Investigation processes if that's what he's done. "
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper said: " If Boris Johnson had any shred of decency left, he would tell Neil Parish to resign immediately.
" In any other workplace this would count as Gross Misconduct and the person responsible would lose their job. "
It emerged on Wednesday that a female minister had reported seeing a male Tory MP viewing pornographic material while sitting beside Her in The Commons chamber.
A second female Tory MP said she had tried but been unable to capture video proof of him doing so.
Who is Neil Parish ?A Conservative spokesperson said Mr Parish has been suspended from The Party whip pending the outcome of Ms Stone's investigation.
Conservative Chief Whip Chris Heaton-Harris has already asked for The Matter to be referred to Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme.
Mr Parish, MP for Tiverton and Honiton, in Devon, chairs The Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee.
The Investigation does not prevent him from continuing in that role.
Environment committee member, the SNP's Kirsty Blackman , said she was " shell-shocked" and that Mr Parish " absolutely shouldn't remain as chair".
" I hope this does not detract or distract from The Good work The Committee has done and continues to do, " she added.
Mr Parish was quizzed by GB News earlier This Week about allegations an MP had been caught watching porn.
" I think the whips' office will do a thorough investigation, and we will wait and see that result, " he told the channel.
" I think from that then the decision will have to be made what action to be taken. "
The claims against Mr Parish follow a series of allegations about other MPs' behaviour.
International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said on Friday that she had by a male colleague and subject to misogyny and " wandering hands" on numerous occasions.
Attorney General Suella Braverman told BBC Radio 4 's Woman's Hour there had to be a complaining that a minority of men in politics " behave like animals".
And a Welsh MP alleged that a member of Labour's shadow cabinet to Her .
