SKY News says Conservative MP Crispin Blunt says he has been arrested on suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances.
In a statement on X, the Reigate MP said: “It has been reported that an MP was arrested yesterday in connection with an allegation of rape.
“I am confirming that MP was me. The fact of the arrest requires a formal notification of the Speaker and then my chief whip.
“I have now been interviewed twice in connection with this incident, the first time three weeks ago, when I initially reported my concern over extortion. The second time was earlier this morning under caution following arrest.
