James Cleverly admits calling Labour MP 'unparliamentary' word
The home secretary has admitted he used " unparliamentary" language to describe a Labour MP, a close source has said.
James Cleverly had denied claims he called the Stockton North constituency a swearword in response to A Question in The Commons from Alex Cunningham .
The Source said on Thursday: " James made a comment. He called Alex Cunningham a shit MP. He apologises for unparliamentary language. "
Mr Cunningham said it " simply was not true" adding he " did not believe him".
He had alleged the swearword was used during Prime Minister 's Questions on Wednesday.
Mr Cunningham had asked: " Why are 34% of children in my constituency living in poverty? "
Making a point of order in The Commons later That Day , He Said : " Before the Prime Minister answered, the home secretary chose to add in his pennyworth.
" He was seen and heard to say 'because it's a shithole'.
" I know he is denying being The Culprit , but the audio is clear and has been checked, and checked, and checked again. "
In footage of The Exchange in The Commons , it was unclear where the remarks came from as there was no shot of Mr Cleverly mouthing The Words .
The Conservative Party chairman and Durham North West MP Richard Holden had earlier said he was " sure it wasn't said by any Conservative MP".
'I don't believe it'The Source close to Mr Cleverly added: " As was made clear yesterday, he would never criticise Stockton. He's campaigned in Stockton and is clear that it is a great place. "
Mr Cunningham told The Bbc : " This is simply not true. I don't believe it. Two syllables were clearly heard.
"'MP' doesn't fit. He's moved today but needs to go the full distance and admit that He Said The Words . "
Commons Deputy Speaker Dame Eleanor Laing said it was her understanding that Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle " didn't hear any remark of the kind from The Chair at The Time when the honourable gentleman was asking his question".
" But I think we all know that it's very difficult in the noisy atmosphere of Prime Minister 's Questions to discern exactly what someone says.
" So I can make no judgment here from The Chair as to what was or wasn't said. "
Earlier Lord Houchen of High Leven had demanded that Mr Cleverly apologised " for dragging Stockton's name through the mud".
Lord Houchen is The Conservative mayor for Tees Valley , which includes Stockton, and was ennobled in Boris Johnson 's resignation honours list.
