Bambos Charalambous has had the party whip removed pending an investigation into a complaint about his conduct.
Labour shadow minister Bambos Charalambous has been suspended by the party after a complaint about his conduct.
A formal complaint against the Enfield Southgate MP was made to Labour’s independent complaints process, the PA news agency understands, triggering a probe.
Mr Charalambous said he will “co-operate fully” with the review.
I am aware that there is an allegation that requires investigation by the Labour Party.
It is right and proper that process is allowed to take place. I will cooperate fully and play my full part.
It is not appropriate to say anything further at this time.

He has been administratively suspended by the party, a move that means he will have the whip removed in Westminster while the investigation is carried out.
Mr Charalambous tweeted: “I am aware that there is an allegation that requires investigation by the Labour Party.
“It is right and proper that process is allowed to take place. I will cooperate fully and play my full part.
“It is not appropriate to say anything further at this time.”
Mr Charalambous has been contacted for comment.
It comes just over a week after the party suspended MP Geraint Davies following allegations of sexual harassment made by a number of women.
Two formal complaints were subsequently submitted to Labour, including one by a sitting Labour MP, according to the Politico news website.
