Labour MP suspended amid questions over £50,000 taxpayer-backed Covid loan
A Labour MP has been suspended from the party amid questions surrounding whether he tried to avoid repaying a taxpayer-funded Covid loan.
Bayo Alaba, the MP for Southend East & Rochford, refused to answer questions about his alleged attempt to wind up one of his businesses before settling a loan.
A Labour spokesman said: "Bayo Alaba MP has referred himself to the Labour Party so that these matters can be investigated in line with the party’s rules.
“The Labour Party expects the highest standards from our elected representatives and we have robust processes in place to ensure those high standards are upheld. We cannot comment further while the investigation is ongoing."
