A senior Conservative woman has accused the Government of "looking the other way" over the case of a Tory MP accused of rape.

Amid a furious backlash, No10 repeatedly refused to say if the Prime Minister would overturn Chief Whip's Mark Spencer's decision to allow the unnamed MP to remain in the party until a police investigation was complete.
