Downing Street says reports of raucous behaviour of all-party trips are a matter for parliament
No 10 has said it is “very concerning” that MPs were reportedly met by sex workers in their hotel rooms and engaged in raucous drinking while on parliamentary trips abroad.
“We have seen some of the reports and some of the behaviour reported is clearly very concerning,” he said. “The regulation of APPGs is a matter for the House[s of Parliament] and the standards committee is conducting an ongoing inquiry into APPGs. The process around them is a matter for the house rather than government.”
