Liberal Democrat MP Cameron Thomas has been arrested on suspicion of controlling and coercive behaviour and assault. Gloucestershire Police said a man in his 40s from Tewkesbury was arrested on Wednesday 17 June, interviewed by officers and later released on police bail while enquiries continue.
Thomas, who represents Tewkesbury, has had the Liberal Democrat whip suspended pending the outcome of the police investigation. His party membership has also been suspended. A Liberal Democrat spokesperson said the party was unable to comment further while the police investigation was ongoing.
Thomas was elected to Parliament at the 2024 general election, winning Tewkesbury from the Conservatives. Before entering Parliament, he served in the Royal Air Force and worked as a military police officer. He sits on the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
