A drunk Labour MP offered to pay a female colleague for sex during last week's all night debate on anti-terrorism laws, it has been claimed.

Marsha Singh, the MP for Bradford West, is said to have shouted at Jane Griffiths, the MP for Reading East: "I'll come with you for a shag. How much do you charge?"

The Times says that witnesses claimed he was waving £20 notes at the time.

Singh said last night: "There was a minor altercation in the early hours of Friday morning which has been blown out of proportion. I do apologise to colleagues if I caused offence."
