Last updated 16th Nov 2017
Mark McDonald, the MSP for Aberdeen Donside, has been suspended by the SNP.
It follows "new information" in the last 24 hours.
He's already resigned as the Minister for Childcare and Early Years - following behaviour he says "may have been deemed inappropriate" in the past.
A statement released by the party said: "Following new information being received by the SNP over the course of the last 24 hours relating to the behaviour of Mark McDonald, he has been suspended from both the parliamentary group and the party while further investigation takes place.
"In the interests of due process and appropriate confidentiality no further comment will be made."
