Theresa May urges action on Westminster harassment claims

Labour's Lucy Powell says the alleged harassment is a result of 'power abuse'

Prime Minister Theresa May is "too weak" to address sexual harassment allegations amongst MPs, Labour's Lucy Powell has said.

Mrs May is calling for new grievance procedures to tackle sexual harassment amid a series of allegations of inappropriate behaviour by MPs.

She told Nick Robinson the alleged harassment was a result of "power abuse".

Anna Soubry, a former Conservative minister, said that while there isn't "a culture" of harassment, there is a problem and "we are all responsible for sorting it out".
