LONDON — Shadow Foreign Minister Bambos Charalambous has been suspended as a Labour MP following a complaint about his behavior.
Charalambous — the MP for Enfield Southgate — said Friday he was “aware that there is an allegation that requires investigation by the Labour Party.”
And he added on Twitter: “It is right and proper that process is allowed to take place. I will cooperate fully and play my full part.
“It is not appropriate to say anything further at this time.”
Under Labour’s current complaints system, details of what has triggered an investigation into an MP are not publicly disclosed by the party. Those under investigation are administratively suspended while the process plays out.
The Guardian first reported Charalambous’ suspension, and said he had stood down from his role on Labour’s shadow foreign affairs team.
The suspension means he is the latest British MP ordered to sit in the House of Commons as an independent.
