SNP MP gave evidence against colleague during sexual harassment investigation
22.04.2022 - 06:43 / dailyrecord.co.uk
An SNP MP gave evidence against a Westminster colleague during a sexual harassment investigation.
It is understood the unnamed parliamentarian claimed fellow MP Patricia Gibson’s behaviour towards a male staff member had been inappropriate.
The SNP employee had complained about alleged sexual harassment by Gibson, who represents North Ayrshire and Arran, in the Strangers Bar in Westminster in 2020.
In claims first published by the Daily Record, the man alleged: “She was.. clearly very, very drunk.
“She was grabbing my hand, pulling me closer and saying to me things like, ‘You should come home with me’. She was saying things that were completely inappropriate in terms of what she wanted to do when I went home with her.”
Gibson, the party’s housing spokeswoman, denied the “utterly absurd and malicious” claims, investigated by Westminster’s Independent Complaints and Grievance service.
It emerged over the weekend that the allegation of sexual harassment against Gibson had been upheld and the findings referred to an independent panel.
The Record has been told a witness was one of Gibson’s own colleagues in the Westminster group.
A separate complaint of sexual harassment by the same employee against a different SNP MP had also been upheld.
Our front page exclusive in March last year told of how a young SNP staffer at Westminster had made complaints of sexual harassment against two MPs.
He alleged that one MP, later revealed to be the then chief whip Patrick Grady, had touched him inappropriately as a 19 year old in London’s Water Poet bar in 2016.
He also alleged another MP had pestered him in Westminster’s Strangers’ Bar in January 2020.
Patricia Gibson, who represents North Ayrshire and Arran, is the MP at the centre of the latter
