A Tory MP who watched porn on his mobile phone in the House of Commons should be expelled from the party, a Home Office minister has said.

Conservative chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris has launched a probe after the allegations about the unnamed MP surfaced during a meeting of Tory MPs at Westminster on Tuesday.
Maclean, who was at the gathering, said that everyone present had been "shocked and horrified" at what they were hearing.
"It's just gruesome," she told Sky News' The Take With Sophy Ridge.
"I'm the minister responsible for safeguarding women and for creating laws which protect women against sexual harassment and violence against women and girls so it is deeply sickening and disgusting to hear that a male MP is watching porn.
"Action needs to be taken and I very much hope ... we will see him out of Parliament, out of the party. I hope that's where we get to.
"Of course, we have to hear the full facts of the case, we've only heard one side of the story, but that is already starting to happen.
"It is completely and utterly shocking and unacceptable. There is no place for this in our party."
Maclean added that she did not know the identity of the MP at the centre of the allegations.
Tuesday's meeting was reportedly attended by between 40 and 50 Tory MPs, including Heaton-Harris, Tory party chairman Oliver Dowden and Commons Leader Mark Spencer.
The meeting came amid reports 56 MPs, including three Cabinet ministers, are facing allegations of sexual misconduct referred to the Independent Complaints and Grievances Scheme.
