Mr Grady was given a two-day ban from the Commons in June after a panel ruled he had engaged in “unwanted physical touching”. At the time, he told MPs he was “profoundly sorry” for his behaviour at a social event in 2016.
There was a wider row about the party’s handling of the case after then group leader Ian Blackford was recorded urging MPs to “give as much support as possible” to Mr Grady. Mr Blackford later apologised that this had “caused distress to the complainant”, and established an independent review of the support available to staff.
Grady had touched and stroked the neck, hair and back of a male colleague 17 years his junior at a social event in a pub in 2016.
The SNP has confirmed that a six-month suspension from the party has expired. The end of the suspension means he is part of the party’s group in the Commons again - now led by Stephen Flynn.
… and he’d better keep his hands to himself …
