An MP who took part in a Nazi-themed stag party organised the event and bought an SS fancy dress uniform, a Conservative Party report has confirmed.

The exact details of Aidan Burley's level of involvement in the party had been unclear since it took place in France at the end of 2011.

But the Tories concluded their Cannock Chase MP had been "stupid and offensive" for leading the stunt in a ski resort.

The session included party-goers and friends of Mr Burley dressing up as SS officers, toasting the Third Reich and chanting the names of senior Nazis.
