From BBC News:

An MP suspended by the Lib Dems amid claims of sexual misconduct is in hospital, his office has confirmed. 

A statement on Portsmouth South MP Mike Hancock's website said he had been "in hospital since the end of last week and will remain so for some time". 

His offices in London and Portsmouth remain open, the statement added. 

Mr Hancock, who stepped down from his seat on the cabinet of the city council earlier this month, underwent a number of major heart operations in 2012.
