LABOUR called for a parliamentary inquiry into allegations of sexual misconduct by overseas charity workers today as a senior Oxfam executive resigned over the scandal.

Oxfam officials met International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt today following claims the charity covered up accusations that its aid workers had invited prostituted women and girls to a party at their villa in Haiti in 2011.

The charity — which received £31.7 million of government funding last year — was in the country responding to a massive earthquake which hit capital Port-au-Prince in 2010, killing 220,000 people and leaving 1.5 million homeless.
