In a letter to the prime minister, Chris Pincher says: “I’ve embarrassed myself and other people which is the last thing I want to do and for that I apologise to you and to those concerned.”
Boris Johnson’s deputy chief whip has resigned over an allegation of groping, Sky News understands.
Chris Pincher, 52, said he had drunk “far too much” and had “embarrassed myself and other people” on a night out.
“I apologise to you and to those concerned,” he added in a letter to the prime minister.
Mr Pincher groped two men in front of others at the Carlton Club in the St James’s area of central London, a government source told Sky News.
