Portsmouth City Council have launched an investigation into the conduct of the Liberal Democrat MP for Portsmouth South, Mike Hancock, who is also a local councillor in the area.
The council would not comment on the nature of the allegations against the MP.
They come at the same time as claims that Mr Hancock has allegedly been in an inappropriate relationship with a constituent who is a single mother with mental health problems.
The Lib Dem MP vigorously denies any wrongdoing.
In a statement the council's solicitor Michael Lawther said: "A sub-committee of Portsmouth City Council today decided to refer a complaint against Cllr Mike Hancock for investigation.
"The governance and audit and standards committee (assessment) sub-committee, made up of three councillors, considered evidence of a breach of the council's code of conduct and decided there was a case to answer. They made no judgement as to whether or not there had been a breach.
"I will now appoint an independent lawyer to carry out an investigation. We estimate the investigation will take two or three months. If a breach is proved against a councillor, they can be censured for their conduct."
