Labour minister Thangam Debbonaire says Crispin Blunt’s defence of fellow MP Imran Ahmad Khan is ‘incredibly disappointing”.
Mr Khan was yesterday found guilty of sexually assaulting a teenage boy in 2008.
Mr Blunt posted online that the conviction was a “dreadful miscarriage of justice”, although he has subsequently removed the post and apologised for the “significant upset and concern” caused by his remarks.
