ABERDEEN South MP Ross Thomson was reportedly removed from a bar in Parliament last night.
According to the Guido Fawkes blog, the Tory was groping male visitors.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that they had been called at around 11pm "following a report of sexual touching".
A spokesman said: "Police were called at approximately 23:00hrs on 5 February to a bar within the Palace of Westminster following a report of sexual touching.
"Officers attended and spoke to the parties involved – three men in their 20s and 30s. However, no formal allegations were made to the officers and no arrests were made."

A spokesman for the Scottish Tories said they were "aware of reports of an incident last night" and that the "matter is being looked into".
Thomson has been approached for comment.
An eyewitness told Guido Fawkes: “Many people watched on in disgust and I saw someone pull him to one side to ask him to leave. He returned around four times after being chaperoned out and carried on groping people.
"It became so unpleasant that the police had been called and eventually escorted him out of the bar after taking statements in the corridor. I believe the Sergeant at Arms is also aware of the incident.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
