    Senior Tory Tim Yeo to step aside amid investigation into lobbying allegations

    Move follows secret filming by undercover reporters posing as energy firm representatives

    The senior Tory MP, Tim Yeo, will stand down today as the chairman of an influential Commons

    committee amid allegations he used his position to help business clients.

    Mr Yeo, a former minister, said he would tell colleagues on the Energy and Climate Change committee

    that he was stepping aside temporarily while the claims are investigated.

    His announcement came hours after Labour said it was "difficult to see how he can continue" until the

    inquiry is completed.
