, sparked widespread condemnation from Conservative MPs and opposition parties, prompting calls for an inquiry.in the party, and that Ms Ghani’s allegations must be ‘investigated properly and racism routed out’.
In a statement posted to Twitter , Mr Spencer posted: ‘To ensure other Whips are not drawn into this matter, I am identifying myself as the person Nusrat Ghani MP has made claims about this evening. The behaviour of the whips has come under intense scrutiny amid the backlash to partygate, with claims that their tactics amounted to blackmail and were used to pressurise Tory MPs seeking to oust the Prime Minister.
‘If there are any claims like this they should result in a formal complaint which allows a formal investigation to take place,’ Mr Raab told Sky News’s Trevor Phillips On Sunday programme.‘As the chief whip has pointed out, Nus hasn’t made a formal complaint. She was asked to do so. In the absence of doing so there will be no specific investigation into this.’
