UK: Recall may be started against Conservative MP

Another UK Minister of Parliament may soon face a recall effort, as a panel recommended that Conservative MP Peter Bone be suspended for six weeks for sexual misconduct and bullying his staff.  Bone has been in office since 2005 and was previously deputy leader of Commons.

As with other recalls in UK, a suspension of 10 days from Parliament leads to the ability to start a recall petition. If enough signatures are gathered, the official is automatically removed and a by-election is scheduled.
