The UK's cabinet office has said UK Prime Minister was made aware of allegations of inappropriate behaviour concerning MP Chris Pincher dating back to 2017.
Mr Pincher resigned from the role of Deputy Cheif Whip last week after he was alleged to have groped two men at a private members club in central London.
Many questioned why he was given the role in the first place having faced similar allegations in the past.
Downing Street originally said Boris Johnson did not know of any 'specific allegations' concerning Mr Pincher.
Minister for the Cabinet Office, Michael Ellis, says Boris Johnson was made aware of at least one allegation 3 years ago.
