The party hopes the move will pave the way for a by-election in the Tory former minister’s Mid Bedfordshire seat.
MPs will try to oust Nadine Dorries as an MP next month amid growing calls for her to follow through on her vow to resign.
Ms Dorries – whose claim that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak removed her peerage nomination has been denied by Downing Street – said she is delaying her exit while she investigates why she was refused a seat in the Lords. “As thousands of people struggle to get a GP appointment and face steep hikes to their mortgages, Nadine Dorries continues to be missing in action. What’s worse is that the Conservatives just don’t seem to care that they’re letting people down.
John Penrose became the latest Tory figure to voice their frustration at her refusal to step aside, having promised to do so.
