Scotland Yard are set to meet with the rebel Conservative who accused government whips of 'blackmailing' backbenchers seeking to oust Boris Johnson amid Partygate chaos.
William Wragg, 34, said he will be meeting a detective from the Metropolitan Police in the House of Commons early next week to discuss his allegations, raising the prospect police could open an investigation.
On Thursday, senior Tory Mr Wragg claimed Boris Johnson's critics were facing 'intimidation' as part of an effort to prevent him being ousted from office.
Mr Wragg said on Friday that next week, he plans to tell the detective 'several' examples of bullying and intimidation, claiming some cases involved public money.
He told The Telegraph: 'I stand by what I have said. No amount of gas-lighting will change that.'

'I am meeting the Police early next week,' he added.
The Metropolitan Police said if any criminal offence was reported, then 'it would be considered'.
It comes after Downing Street said it would not be mounting its own inquiry into the claims, despite calls to do so by both Conservative and opposition MPs.
A No 10 spokesman said it would only open an inquiry if it was presented with evidence to back up Mr Wragg's assertions.
But Mr Wragg, the Chair of Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, said he believed an investigation should be left for the 'experts' in the police.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'As with any such allegations, should a criminal offence be reported to the Met, it would be considered.'
Regarding reports of the meeting, the spokesman added: 'We are not able to discuss.'
MailOnline has contacted No 10 for comment.

It comes after rebel Tories have threatened to release a secret recording of Government whips' allegedly making 'blackmail' threats.
Backbenchers pushing for the Prime Minister to be replaced amid Partygate chaos claim to have taped party enforcers attempting to bully MPs, as well as having copies of text messages.
Mr Johnson insisted on Thursday he had 'seen no evidence' to support the claim made by Mr Wragg that his critics were facing 'intimidation' as part of an effort to prevent him being ousted from office.
They include an incendiary claim from defector Christian Wakeford that he was told finding for a new school in his Bury South constituency would be withheld if he did not back the Government in axing free meals for pupils.
The Times reported that Tory MPs keen to see the back of Mr Johnson have secretly recorded 'heated' conversation with the chief whip Mark Spencer, as well as text messages to support the accusations.
However, Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng today insisted that he 'didn't think this was happening', saying blackmail threats as alleged would be 'unacceptable'.
He told ITV's Good Morning Britain the whips' job is 'to persuade people to vote with the Government, as they have done for decades, and they try to do that by a variety of means'.
But he said: 'The idea that they'll say to an MP 'Well, if you don't vote with the Government
