A Tory MP has issued a second apology for "undermining" the first apology he gave for bullying Commons staff.
Daniel Kawczynski faces being suspended for a day over remarks he made in interviews with the Mirror and the BBC.
The MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham told the Commons: "I acknowledge that in speaking to journalists and the radio I undermined the sincerity of the apology I gave to the House on June 14 2020.
I'm sorry that my conduct will have had a further harmful effect on the complainants and that it may have diminished public confidence in the process."
A Parliament probe last June found he had acted in a “threatening and intimidating manner” towards workers after a tech glitch meant he was unable to join a committee hearing.
An Independent Expert Panel (IEP) report published in June, found Mr Kawczynski had been "repeatedly aggressive, rude and impatient" in calls made to the private mobile phone of one of the complainants.
The report said he "used extreme, although not profane language". Later that evening, the report says Mr Kawczynski made "phone calls...to the complainants' manager while under the influence of alcohol.”
Mr Kawczynski told the Mirror at the time he had had "one large glass of wine" before making the phone call, but denied being drunk.
Speaking in the Commons yesterday, Mr Kawczynski said: "I am committed to learning from the mistakes I have made and to work on my personal development, especially in my communication with others in every interaction that I have.
“I hope others will learn from my experience and I'd be happy to share what I have learnt with others."
MPs are tonight expected to vote in favour of Mr Kawczynski being suspended for one sitting day, to be served on Thursday.
