Evening Standard Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting has said he is not aware if Dr Dan Poulter was offered anything to defect to the Labour Party.
Asked by the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg if Dr Poulter was made an offer, Mr Streeting replied: “Not that I’m aware of.
“He said very clearly to me when I was talking to him this week about how he might help, he’s going back to the NHS full-time when Parliament is dissolved, which can’t come soon enough as far as we’re concerned.”
Pressed if he could rule out if any offers were made, Mr Streeting went on: “Well, I’m not aware, he’s certainly not mentioned anything to me and neither has the Labour Party.”
