Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, has been charged with section 39 assault after an incident following a night out, leading to his suspension by Labour.
The Labour Party suspended Amesbury on October 27 after a clip was published, and he has since been sitting as an independent MP awaiting his court appearance.
Cheshire police have confirmed that Amesbury has been summonsed to court, and he is set to appear in magistrates court at a future date.
Previously serving as shadow minister for housing and local government, Amesbury now holds a position on parliament's housing and local government committee, despite his ongoing investigation.
