       One MP revealed that they may lift the lid this week in a freedom of speech push.

       They are allowed to speak freely in Commons debates, giving them a legal immunity.

       In 2011, Lib Dem MP John Hemming named Ryan Giggs during a debate on privacy orders after the star had an injunction over an affair with a reality TV star.

       Media companies have not named the BBC man because of fears of defamation and breaching privacy.

       Sir Cliff Richard won a case in 2018 over BBC coverage of his home being raided after he was falsely accused of historic sex offences.

       And the Supreme Court ruled last year a person investigated for a crime has “a reasonable expectation of privacy”.

       Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer will be keeping a “close watch” on the BBC’s handling of the allegations.

       Meanwhile, Downing Street said that Rishi Sunak had “full confidence” in BBC director-general Tim Davie following allegations made about the star.

       Earlier, Justice Secretary Alex Chalk said the BBC needs to “get its house in order” over the claims.

       He said the corporation will need to uncover “who knew what and when”.

       He said: “If the reports are to be believed, even if they’re half as serious are as alleged, then you would expect the BBC to respond promptly.”

       Home Secretary Suella Braverman also echoed the calls for “prompt action” saying it is “absolutely vital”.
