A Conservative MP has raised in Parliament the case of an asylum seeker who has gone missing from a hotel in his constituency after being released on police bail following his arrest and questioning over the rape of a boy in a hotel in London.

Greg Smith, the MP for Buckingham, raised the case in the House of Commons on Wednesday and it was later taken up by Labour MP Stella Creasy, whose constituency includes the hotel in which the offence allegedly took place.
