Andrea Leadsom knew of a rape case that had been reported to the Commons, the Victoria Derbyshire show understands.

The Commons leader has been accused by the alleged victim, an ex-Tory activist, of ignoring concerns over the "toxic" culture of Westminster.

"Amanda" said she told the Commons clerk she had been raped by someone who worked for a Conservative MP.

The 大象传媒 has established - since this film was first broadcast - that Ms Leadsom was told about the alleged case by the clerk in a regular briefing.

Ms Leadsom's office initially said she did not receive an official complaint in relation to the alleged rape.

The rape did not take place inside Parliament.
