(BBC) London Conservative MP and former minister Paul Scully has apologised for suggesting there are “no-go” areas in parts of Tower Hamlets.
He made the comment in radio and TV interviews on Monday, prompting accusations of Islamophobia and a rebuke from the prime minister.
Mr Scully had also said some people were “fearful for going out.”
In a BBC Radio London interview on Tuesday, he said he “put his hands up” for using language he “regrets.”
Mr Scully added he was “frustrated in the language” he used and lost “nuance” in the issues he wanted to get across.
