British police said: “A man was arrested on suspicion of assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust and poor public conduct”.
An update Wednesday said the MP has now been released on bail by mid-June pending further investigations.
Metropolitan police said alleged sexual acts were committed between 2002 and 2009 in London.
The police first received a report on the charges in January 2020 and have conducted a two-year investigation into the allegations.
The unidentified MP will not be suspended from the party until detectives from the specialised crime unit complete their investigation.
But the other conservative MP, Chris Eaton Harris, has asked the MP to stay away from parliament during the investigation.
About 50 MPs are said to have referred to the Parliament authorities for allegations of improper sexual conduct. /Periscopi/
