A senior member of the British parliament has been accused of watching porn in the house of Commons. Johnson is under immense pressure to take disciplinary action against the Conservative MP accused of the act.
Watching pornography would be unacceptable in any workplace, Reuters quoted PM Boris Johnson as saying.
“It’s obviously unacceptable for anybody to be doing that kind of thing in the workplace. It’d be the same for any kind of job up and down the country," he said. He also said that the unnamed member of the party would need to go through the appropriate complaints procedure and be referred to parliament’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS).
The allegation was made by a female minister at a meeting where several women MPs shared accounts of sexism and harassment. The minister alleged that the MP was watching porn while she was sitting behind him. Another female MP said that she had caught another male colleague watching porn and wanted to take a picture, but, was unable to do so.
