He was reportedly “very inebriated” when he was spotted; at the Conservative Party members’ club, the Carlton Club, in London.
Pincher stated: “I drank excessively on Wednesday night; embarrassing myself and others, as I told the prime minister; and I sincerely apologise for the uproar I caused.
“I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will benefit from expert medical support; because of the tensions of the last few days; which have been added to those of the previous few months.
“I’m currently looking for that; and I want to be able to resume serving my district as soon as possible.”
