"The committee is particularly concerned about attacks mounted by experienced colleagues, including a serving minister of the Crown, a former leader of the House, and a former secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport", the committee stated.
Other MPs mentioned in the report include Mark Jenkinson, Sir Michael Fabricant, Brendan Clarke-Smith, and Dame Andrea Jenkyns. The involvement of experienced colleagues, including a serving minister, a former leader of the House, and a former secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport, raised concern within the committee. The report added: “The committee is particularly concerned about attacks mounted by experienced colleagues, including a serving minister of the Crown, a former leader of the House and a former secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport.
The committee acknowledged that the House of Commons would need to decide on "what further action, if any, to take" in relation to the named MPs. It proposed that MPs agree that attempting to "impugn the integrity of the committee" or "lobby or intimidate" its members could be considered a contempt of Parliament.
MP Brendan Clarke-Smith expressed his surprise and disappointment at being named in the report. He defended his tweet, stating that it raised serious questions about free speech in a democratic society. Thangam Debbonaire, the Shadow leader of the House of Commons, called on Rishi Sunak to condemn his Conservative colleagues and ensure that MPs have sufficient time to approve the report in its entirety.
