Ban MPs from Parliament if they're being investigated for sexual misconduct

Ban MPs from the Westminster Parliamentary Estate while they're under investigation
for sexual misconduct.

Why is this important?

Right now MPs who are under investigation for sexual assault or misconduct are not required to be banned from Parliament - instead they can only be asked not to attend. Earlier this year, an MP who was arrested on suspicion of rape was just simply asked to “please stay away”. And reports suggest more than 50 MPs are being investigated for sexual misconduct.

But a group of influential MPs recently met to discuss the possibility of MPs being banned from Parliament if they are accused of sexual assault. It could be unpopular with some in Westminster so it's up to us, the public, to convince them to do the right thing.
