A Tory Minister and an MP have been accused of paying women to be silent in a so-called 'dirty dossier' being shared by party staff, as the full list of claims against Tory MPs is laid bare.

The Minister is said to have asked a woman to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and the MP is alleged to have "paid a female to be quiet".

It comes amid a growing sexual harassment scandal at Westminster, with some 40 Conservative MPs being named in the 'dossier'. In the list obtained by The Telegraph, seven Cabinet ministers, eight former ministers and 15 other members of the Government are named.

Of the MPs named in the list, 25 are alleged to have behaved inappropriately. However the other 15 MPs are named over consensual relationships or personal sexual preferences, with no suggestion of harassment.
