David Simmonds, the MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner, said in an email to a constituent that he believed Mr Cummings should resign.
“Whilst the facts of Mr Cummings' situation are disputed and there are ongoing investigations, it is important in my view not to engage in trial by media,” Mr Simmonds said.

“I would of course welcome an independent investigation to establish the facts, something which any constituent finding themselves in difficulty would be entitled to ask for.”
