  I can't see that the Conservatives can restore the whip to Mr Elphicke until the police investigation is concluded; once you have crossed the line of 'we've referred Mr Elphicke to the police and so therefore have withdrawn the party whip from him', there is no way back in the interim.
  
  There is a lesson here surely for any organisation; unless there is a clear danger of the alleged transgression continuing, then the person should remain in post and society's investigation (via the police/regulator) takes precedence over the organisation's one. After all, most (though not all) of our rules are based on innocent until proven guilty.
