He shares two children with his wife Susan and they also have two grandchildren.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why has Neil Parish had the Conservative whip removed?<\/h2>\n

The MP has had the Conservative whip removed after referring himself to Parliament's watchdog.<\/p>\n

Neil has been suspended from the Conservative party after\u00a0claims were made from two female colleagues saying he had viewed pornographic content in the Commons.<\/p>\n

After speaking to the Chief Whip, he has referred himself to Parliament's watchdog to be investigated.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Chief Whip said: "Having spoken to the Chief Whip this afternoon, Neil Parish MP is reporting himself to the Standards Committee of the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

"Mr Parish has been suspended from the Conservative Whip pending the outcome of that investigation."<\/p>\n

A few days before Neil was named as the MP being investigated, he had an interview with GB News in which he was asked his thoughts on the allegations.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI think the whips\u2019 office will do a thorough investigation and we will wait and see that result and from that, then the decision will have to be made what action will be taken".<\/p>\n

He also later added: \u201cWe\u2019ve got some 650 members of parliament in what is a very intense area. You are going to get people who step over the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does have to be dealt with and dealt with seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
