Former Conservative Cabinet Minister David Mellor says the "code of respect" that existed in Westminster 20 years ago is disappearing, with politicians make personal attacks at members on the opposite benches.
Neil Parish has formally resigned as an MP after admitting watching pornography in the Commons.
The Treasury released a statement to say it had accepted the Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton’s resignation.
It said: “The Chancellor of the Exchequer has this day appointed Neil Quentin Gordon Parish to be Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.”
Appointing an MP to the position is one of the formal mechanisms used to allow them to resign their office.
Reports emerged last week that two female Tory MPs had seen a male colleague watching adult material on the Commons benches.
