A complaint about the incident from an SNP staff member was not considered by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards because it came from a third party.
The Daily Record reported that a Scottish MP had made a new report to the commissioner about an alleged incident of unwanted physical contact late last year.
The commissioner’s office does not comment on allegations unless they are fully investigated and a report is issued.
A source close to Ross Thomson said: “Ross will fully co-operate with any parliamentary inquiry. It would be inappropriate for him to comment at this time.”
The complaint is understood to have been made to a new hotline set up for parliamentary workers to report allegations of sexual harassment.
