Peter Bone is a British politician who has been a Member of Parliament since 2005, representing the constituency of Wellingborough.
He was born on October 19, 1952, in Ipswich, England.
On October 16, 2023, Parliament’s Independent Expert Panel recommended that Tory MP Peter Bone be suspended for six weeks for bullying and sexual misconduct, per DailyMail.
The former minister could lose his Wellingborough seat as the length of the ban will trigger a recall petition, and potentially set up another tricky by-election for Rishi Sunak.
A report by the Independent Expert Panel watchdog said he ‘committed many varied acts of bullying and one act of sexual misconduct’ against a member of his staff in 2012 and 2013.
